Nesting Data types

[Former Member]

Can we make a new data type by using two other data types...Pls tell me the steps to do the same.

Suppose I need to create a DT for address

I hav a DT for name - first and last name

another DT for location - street, city and pin

So i need to make a DT for Address by makin use of the above two DTS

Thanks to all

Hi,

Create a data type that you want to embed. eg. address and then create another data type and then create a field and in the type column select on Search help and it will give u the exisiting data type.

Yes you can.

In the place where you select string or integer type , look for your already defined / saved datatypes and assign that as a data type for your element (which becomes composite)
