Create a dynamic pool

Before you create a dynamic pool, understand your data model so that you can add appropriate fields and field groups to the dynamic pool.

1Click New.

2In the New Asset dialog box, click Model > Dynamic Pool.

3Click Create.

4In the Dynamic Pool dialog box, specify the dynamic pool properties, and click OK.

The dynamic pool is created, and a blank canvas appears.

5To add fields and field groups to the dynamic pool, select one of the following options:

- Double-click a field to add it to the canvas.
- Right-click the dynamic pool, Add child, and then select a field type.

6To add fields and field groups at the same level as a selected field, right-click the field, select Add sibling, and then select a field type.

7To add fields and field groups nested within a field group, right-click the field group, select Add child, and then select a field type.

Note: When you specify a field as a required field in a dynamic pool, the dynamic field definitions attribute related to the dynamic pool appears as a required field when selected in business applications. A business user needs to enter values into the dynamic field definitions while editing a record.
