Master Data Maintenance
Master Data Manager is more than a place to dene model objects. It also allows you to
create, edit, and update leaf members and consolidated members. When you add a leaf
member, you initially provide values for only the Name and Code attributes, as shown in
Figure 7-4. You can also use a search button to locate and select the parent consolidated
member in each hierarchy.
FIGURE 7-4 Adding a new leaf member
After you save your entry, you can edit the remaining attribute values immediately or at a
later time. Although a member can have hundreds of attributes and belong to multiple hier-
archies, you can add the new member without having all of this information at your nger-
tips; you can update the attributes at your leisure. MDS always keeps track of the missing
information, displaying it as validation issue information at the bottom of the page on which
you edit the attribute values, as shown in Figure 7-5.
