Type

Select a new type for the data member from the drop-down list.

Select the data type for the data member. The data type must be the same as the property that you will map with the data member. The following data types are supported:

  • Binary

  • Boolean

  • Currency (the Profiles System uses the Decimal data type which is a fixed precision data type; to get more precision, specify more than 6 decimal points)

  • Date/Time

  • Number

  • String

Multivalued

Select this option to enable the collection of multiple values that are associated with the data member.

Required

Select when the data member is required on your Web site. However, the Profile Schema Manager does not enforce this attribute.

Index

Select if the data is indexed on this data member.

Primary Key

Select to designate this data member as the primary key.

You must select one data member in each data object to be the primary key. Setting a data column as the primary key guarantees that each record contains a unique value. Only one primary key can be assigned to a data table.
