Create New Entity Schema: Specify Entity Name Fields

The Specify Entity Name Fields panel of the Create New Entity Schema wizard lets you select the primary fields that you have created in the previous panel.

The primary fields are separated by the separator that you select in this panel. Control Compliance Suite creates an asset name using these primary fields separating each by the separator that you select in the panel. The asset names are displayed in the Asset System view of the Control Compliance Suite Console.

Note:

You need not select a separator for a single primary field.

The fields of the panel and their descriptions are as follows:

Available Fields

Select the primary fields from the list that you want to associate with the entity.

All the primary fields that are created in the Add Fields panel are listed in this field. Click the Add icon to select one or more primary fields for the entity.

Selected Fields

All the selected primary fields are listed in this column.

You can change the order of the selected primary fields by using the scroll icons. The order in which the primary fields are listed here decides the order of appearance of the fields that define the asset name. The names of the assets for a selected asset type appear in the Asset System view of the console.

Separator

Select the separator using which you want to separate the primary fields to define an asset name.

The separator is used to separate the primary fields that define the names of the assets for an asset type. The names of the assets for a selected asset type appear in the Asset System view of the console

For example, for an asset type, OracleServer, the primary keys can be hostname, IPaddress, databasename and you have selected the separator, #. The values returned for the primary fields represent the name of an asset for the asset type. Let the returned values for the primary fields be testmachine, 123.23.45.67, and oracledDB1. The values that appear for the Name field in the Asset System view of the console for the asset type is as follows: testmachine#123.23.45.67#oracledDB1
