Common properties & attributes
Collection properties
- Users have administrator permissions to members of this collection
- When the checkbox is marked, normal users and analysts have the same rights as administrators to create, modify and delete collection members. Although this checkbox should generally be cleared for most collections, you may locate it useful to allow users to add or modify specific collections such as organizations, product families or units of measure.
Collection member common attributes
- Active: users can select
- When the checkbox is marked, the member will appear in pick lists for new objects. When cleared, the member only appears for historical records and is not displayed in pick lists for new objects. You are permitted to modify this checkbox. At least one member of each collection must be active; if you set all members of a collection inactive, the result may be unpredictable.
- Default member of collection
- The checkbox determines which member is first assigned to new items that use the collection. Typically, only one member of a collection can be the default member, although there are a few cases where the actual default member is calculated based on the context (see, for example, the Item Lifecycle Phase collection, which has three types of default members). If you mark this checkbox, the Active: Users can select checkbox will also be marked and locked.
