I recently created a new master data type in my model, which included one attribute with the 'parent' check box checked - to signify that it was to be used as the parent.
Upon activating the master data type - the system auto generated several other attributes within the master data type. My question is, what is the purpose of these additional attributes and how are they to be used?
Before Activation:
| Attribute | Description | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| ID | ID | << marked as key and as required |
| DESCR | Description | << no special check boxes checked |
| PID | Parent ID | << marked with parent check box |
After activation:
| Attribute | Description | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| ID | ID | << marked as key and as required |
| DESCR | Description | << no special check boxes checked |
| PID | Parent ID | << marked with parent check box |
| IDA | Ancestor: ID | << auto added after activation |
| IDL | Level: ID | << auto added after activation |
| IDLA | Ancestor: Level: ID | << auto added after activation |
| IDPTH | Path: ID | << auto added after activation |
| IDPTHA | Ancestor: Path: ID | << auto added after activation |
| DEACRA | Ancestor: Description | << auto added after activation |
| PIDA | Ancestor: Parent ID | << auto added after activation |
