Choice sets

The Choice Sets module enables you to manage choice sets for a data service tenant. Choice sets can be used as field types in an entity.

A choice set consists of choice values that can be selected from for a field based on that choice set. The choice set is also made available in Studio as Enum value.

Learn how to manage your choice sets: access, create, update or delete your Data Service choice sets.

Accessing the choice sets module​

In the Data Fabric / Data Service service, select Manage Choice Sets. The Choice Sets page is displayed.

Creating a choice set​

  1. On the Choice Sets page, select Add Choice Set. The Create Choice Set panel is displayed.

  2. In the Display Name field enter a display name for the choice set.

    note

    The Name field is automatically filled in based on the Display Name. If needed, you can update it.

    You can create a maximum of 250 choices in a choice set.

  3. Select Add Choice.

  4. Enter a name in the new choice display name field.

  5. In the Location section:

    1. Select Tenant to make data available across the entire tenant to all users with tenant-level access.
    2. Select Folder to make data visible only to users with access to the selected Orchestrator folder. If you select Folder, you then have to select a target Orchestrator folder from the Select Folder dropdown. The choice set you create is scoped for the folder you select.
      note

      You cannot change the choice set location once chosen.

  6. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the other choices you want to add to the choice set.

  7. Select More details to display an additional Description field. If needed, enter a description to indicate the function of the choice set.

  8. Select Save.

The new choice set is displayed in the Choice Sets list.

note
  • Choice sets can be created at tenant level or folder level. Folder-level choice sets are visible only within the selected Orchestrator folder, following the same scope model as folder-level entities.
