Step 2. Add new data

On the previous step, we have fully configured the new section’s interface. On this step:

• fill out the new lookups.
• add the gym number system setting.
• attach the new data to the development package.

Fill out the lookups

The list of possible field values is configured in the [ Lookups ] section of the System Designer.

1. Fill out the “Periodicity” lookup
   1. Click to open the System Designer.
   2. Go to the [ System setup ] block –> click [ Lookups ].
   3. Find the “Periodicity” lookup using the filter at the top of the page.
   4. Open and fill out the lookup with these values:
      • Daily
      • Every 3 days
      • Weekly
      
2. Fill out the “Training status” lookup:
   1. Open the [ Lookups ] section.
   2. Find the “Training status” lookup using the filter at the top of the page.
   3. Open and fill out the lookup with these values:
      • Planned
      • Canceled
      • Completed
      

Create a system setting

To implement the example, specify the number of group exercise gyms in Creatio. Use a system setting to do this.

All base and custom system settings are available in the [ System settings ] section of the System Designer.

1. Click to open the System Designer.
2. Click [ System settings ] in the [ System setup ] block.
   
3. Click [ Add settings ] to add a system setting.
   
4. Fill out the property fields of the system setting:
   • Set [ Name ] to "Number of gyms".
   • Set [ Code ] to "GymsNumber".
   • Set [ Type ] to “Integer”.
   • Set [ Default value ] to 4.
     

Bind data to the package

The new lookup and system setting data is stored in the Creatio development environment database. To enable migration of the developed functionality to the pre-production and production environments, bind the new data to the development package. Creatio uses the package data binding for this.

1. Add the “Periodicity” lookup’s data to the package:
   1. Go to the [ Configuration ] section and select the “TryItPackage.”
   2. Click [ Add ] in the workspace toolbar and select the [ Data ] configuration element type.
      
   3. Select the “Periodicity” lookup’s object "UsrPeriodicity" in the [ Object ] field.
      
   4. Check if all columns with the object’s data are selected in the [ Columns Setting ] tab.
      
   5. Go to the [ Bound data ] tab and click [ Add ].
      
   6. Select all records in the newly-opened window.
      
   7. Save the element.
2. Add the “Training status” lookup’s data in a similar way. Specify "UsrTrainingStatus” as the object.
3. Binding a system setting to a package involves binding the system setting’s code and value.
   1. Add a new [ Data ] type element to the package.
   2. Specify "SysSettings" in the [ Object ] field. This is the data table that stores codes for all Creatio system settings.
      
   3. Click [ Add ] on the [ Bound data ] tab and use the filter to find the "Number of gyms" setting in the window that opens.
      
   4. Save the element.
   5. Create one more [ Data ] type element and specify "SysSettingsValue" in the [ Object ] field. This is the data table that stores values for all Creatio system settings.
      
   6. Use the system setting filter in the [ Bound data ] tab to select the data for the "Number of gyms" system setting.
      
   7. Save the element.

As a result, we have added the example's required data to the interface and attached it to the development package. On the next step, implement the business logic of the example.
