Subnumber types

Prerequisite: To configure subnumber types, you must be assigned the DATAADM access code.

About subnumber types

You can add, edit, and delete subnumber types in WorkZone Configurator. The Subnumber type is the connector between case groups and their child case groups.

You want to provide child case groups that divide cases by a region, for example, regions East, West, North, and South.

  1. In WorkZone Configurator, you create the REGION subnumber type.
  2. You create subnumbers East, West, North, and South, and select the REGION subnumber type for each of them.
  3. When you then create a new case group, optionally, you can select the desired subnumber type for it. If you select REGION, the new case group will include four child case groups: regions East, West, North, and South.

In WorkZone Client, users only see case groups and their child case groups. The subnumber type functions as a connector, and it is not visible on the UI.

Create a subnumber type

  1. On the main page, select Taxonomy.
  2. On the Subnumber types tab, in the bottom-right corner of the page, click Create.

  3. Fill in the following fields in the Add subnumber type dialog box:

    • Label by default – The default name that is visible for administrators.
    • Code – The code in the database.
    • Localize labels – Optionally, specify names in other languages.
    • Selectable - Disable to make this value non-selectable for the users in WorkZone Client or WorkZone 365.
    • Start date –  The date when the subnumber type becomes active.
    • End date – The date when the subnumber type is deactivated.
  4. Click Save.

Edit a subnumber type

  1. Open a list with the subnumber type that you want to edit, and point to it. A menu bar with action buttons appears.
  2. Click Edit.
  3. Apply the required changes in the Edit subnumber type dialog box.
    Note: You cannot edit the Label by default and Code values.
  4. Click Save.

Delete a subnumber type

You can only delete a subnumber type that does not have any records in the database.

  1. Open a list with the subnumber type that you want to delete, and point to it. A menu bar with action buttons appears.
