dataIndex Attribute

Purpose

The dataIndex attribute is used for the following purposes:

Defining the editor that is used by any cell in the column. Editors are presented in the Editor column of the table below.
Defining where the data persists in the PLM. Paths are presented in the Persistence column of the table below.
Defining the column.

Note: Extended attributes can be created using the Specialize Data Model category in the Data Model Customization app with the corresponding administrative role. For more information, see Working with Data Model Specialization.

Predefined Values

For the dataIndex attribute, predefined and reserved values are defined as follows:


dataIndex	Editor Name	Editor Characteristics	Persistence
`actions`	ExternalReferenceEditor	The editor receives dragged acceptable types.	The path of a CausalityRelationship (the dataIndex is used to dispatch in cells), whose semantic role is `FailureModesEffectsAnalysisPreventionReference3`.
`cause`	CauseEditor		The path of a CausalityRelationship, whose semantic role is `FailureModesEffectsAnalysisCauseOccurrenceReference3`.
`causeFailureMode`	CauseFailureModeEditor	The editor receives dragged acceptable types. The union of `causeFailureMode` and `causeOccurrence` gives `cause`.	The path of a CausalityRelationship, whose semantic role is `FailureModesEffectsAnalysisCauseFailureModeReference3`.
`causeOccurrence`	CauseOccurrenceEditor	The union of `causeFailureMode` and `causeOccurrence` gives `cause`.	The path of a CausalityRelationship, whose semantic role is `FailureModesEffectsAnalysisCauseOccurrenceReference3`.
`directEffect`	DirectEffectEditor or DirectFunctionalEffectEditor		The path of a CausalityRelationship, whose semantic role is `FailureModesEffectsAnalysisEffectsWithoutBarrierReference3`.
`effectsIsPreventedBy`	ExternalReferenceEditor The editor receives dragged acceptable types.	The editor receives dragged acceptable types.	The path of a CausalityRelationship (the dataIndex is used to dispatch in cells), whose semantic role is `FailureModesEffectsAnalysisPreventionReference3`.
`effectsIsProtectedBy`	ExternalReferenceEditor	The editor receives dragged acceptable types.	The path of a CausalityRelationship (the dataIndex is used to dispatch in cells), whose semantic role is `FailureModesEffectsAnalysisDetectionReference3`.
`function`	FunctionEditor	The editor receives dragged acceptable types.	The path of a CausalityRelationship, whose semantic role is `FailureModesEffectsAnalysisEffectsWithoutBarrierOccurrenceReference3`.
`higherLevelEffects`	HigherLevelEffectsEditor	The editor receives dragged acceptable types.	The path of a CausalityRelationship, whose semantic role is `FailureModesEffectsAnalysisEffectsWithoutBarrierOccurrenceReference3`.
`interfaceEffects`	HigherLevelEffectsEditor	The editor receives dragged acceptable types. The union of `interfaceEffects` and `symptoms` gives `higherLevelEffects`.	The path of a CausalityRelationship, whose semantic role is `FailureModesEffectsAnalysisEffectsWithoutBarrierOccurrenceReference3`.
`processCause`	ProcessCauseEditor		The path of a CausalityRelationship, whose semantic role is `FailureModesEffectsAnalysisCauseOccurrenceReference3`.
`processDirectEffectOccurrence`	ProcessDirectEffectOccurrenceEditor		The path of a CausalityRelationship, whose semantic role is `FailureModesEffectsAnalysisEffectsWithoutBarrierOccurrenceReference3`.
`processEffect`	ProcessEffectEditor	The editor receives dragged acceptable types.	The path of a CausalityRelationship, whose semantic role is `FailureModesEffectsAnalysisEffectsWithoutBarrierOccurrenceReference3`.
`requirement`	RequirementEditor	`targetDataIndex` is mandatory for this editor. It is equals to `function` or `processDirectEffectOccurrence`, for more information, see columns Attribute. The editor receives dragged acceptable types.	The path of a CausalityRelationship, whose semantic role is `FailureModesEffectsAnalysisEffectsWithoutBarrierOccurrenceReference3`.
`symptoms`	HigherLevelEffectsEditor	The editor receives dragged acceptable types. The union of `interfaceEffects` and `symptoms` gives `higherLevelEffects`. `symptoms` correspond to higher-level effects, which are not linked to architectural elements.	The path of a CausalityRelationship, whose semantic role is `FailureModesEffectsAnalysisEffectsWithoutBarrierOccurrenceReference3`.
Any other dataIndex	ExtendedAttributeEditor		The attribute of the model (CausalityRelationship or any other displayed model such as a FailureMode)

Examples

For a failure mode:

{
      "text" : "Failure Mode",
      "dataIndex" : "directEffect",
      "width" : "200px"
      }

For a multivalued attribute named AIRFlightPhase and created with its authorized values using the Data Model Customization app:
```
  {
      "text": "Flight Phase",
      "dataIndex": "AIRFlightPhase",
      "width": "100px"
      }
```
