There are multiple ways to enter Data Set information into WorkView for an attribute:
-
Manually adding each value one at a time.
-
Manually add a list of values.
-
Importing values from a .txt file.
To manually add each value one at a time:
- In the Data Set Configuration dialog box, if appropriate, select a Parent Data Set. For more information on parent data sets, see Parent Data Sets.
- Click in the field under the Set Value column.
- Enter the value you want to include as part of the data set.
- If the value is associated with a value from a parent data set, select the value from the Parent Data drop-down list that is associated with the entered value. Parent Data specifies what values are available when a specific parent data set value is selected.
- To enter another value, repeat these steps on the next row down.
-
When finished, click OK.
To add a list of values:
- In the Data Set Configuration dialog box, if appropriate, select a Parent Data Set. For more information on parent data sets, see Parent Data Sets.
-
Click the import button and select Add List.
The Add List dialog box is displayed.
- If appropriate, select a Parent Data value. This value is the value that will be associated with the list.
- In the Enter Data Set values, one value per line: field, enter the values that you want to add. After each value, press Enter on your keyboard.
- Click OK.
-
If you have multiple parent data values that you need to enter a list for, you must repeat this process for every parent data value.
To import Data Set values from a .txt file:

- Enter the Delimiter character used to signify the beginning and end of a value in the .txt file.
- Enter the Separator character used to separate the values in the .txt. If this field is left blank, each value has to be separated by a new line.
- Select the appropriate parent data set from the Parent Data drop-down list that applies to the values included in the import file. For more information on parent data sets, see Parent Data Sets.
- Click OK. The values from the import .txt file will populate in the Data Set Configuration dialog box.
