After you have prepared a new report and thereby created accounts, you might want to have the ability to store related account information per account. Exivity allows you to do this on the accounts overview page but first we will have to create a Metadata definition before we can associate it to a report and its levels. Apart from applying metadata to Accounts, as of version 2.10.1, it is also possible to apply metadata to Services.
At the metadata page you define the type of form fields you want to use on the accounts overview page.
The field label represents the name of your form field
The type field represents the eventual value type. At this moment Exivity offers you the following types:
String
Number
Date
List
It is possible to configure field contents validation using a regular expression, by expanding the options on the right side. The below shows an example of how to define a GUID validation regex:
Always ensure to enclose your regex between two slashes (/), for example:
Now that we have defined the metadata, we would like to associate it with a report and its levels on the reports page. You can associate different metadata to each level within the same report.
If you are updating or creating a report, do not forget to (re-)prepare your report.
We are now fully set up to store related information on the accounts overview page.
