Step 1: Parameters​

A database consists of 3 parameters:

  • Its name, which cannot include any symbol or space.
  • Its description, for information purposes.
  • The entity in which the database will be saved. It defines the users' rights.

Step 1: Parameters

Once all the parameters are encoded, click on the 'Next' button.

Step 2: Attributes​

A database is made of attributes. To add an attribute, click on the "+" symbol then choose your preferred option.

Step 2: Attributes

Depending on your needs, you have the choice between:

  1. Directly adding one or more predefined attributes
  2. Creating an attribute according to your own definition

Add Attribute

We advise you to always prefer a predefined attribute to the creation of another attribute. We invite you go to 'Using predefined attributes' to learn more about them.

Step 2a: Adding predefined attributes​

The list of all the predefined attributes that you do not have selected yet will be displayed. Select the ones you want to include in the structure of your database.

As soon as you click on the 'Add' button, you will go back to the list of attributes selected for the creation of your database.

Step 2a: Adding predefined attributes

You will find 3 icons in the 'Properties' column:

  • Optional
  • Multi-valued
  • Unique

If the icon is light grey colored, the attribute does not have this property. On the other hand, a black icon means that the property is applied to the attribute.

Please make sure to correctly define the properties of your attributes before finalizing your database.

Step 2b: Creating a new attribute​

You can also create specific attributes in your profile table.

Please make sure to check beforehand if the desired attribute does not exist among the Actito predefined attributes that you have not selected yet.

Step 2c: Validating the list of attributes​

Once you have created all your attributes, you can see the list of all attributes.

If you wish to delete an attribute before validating the database, click the "-" icon at the right end of the line of the attribute. You will then have to confirm the deletion.

After adding all the necessary attributes, click on the "Next" button.

Step 3: Confirm​

This last step allows you to confirm the creation of your database. Your database will be launched as soon as you click the 'Finish' button.

Step 3: Confirm

You will receive confirmation as soon as your database is created.
