At which levels can Vlocity Picklists be assigned to attributes?

Vlocity Picklists can be assigned to attributes at multiple levels, which enhances the flexibility and usability of the data structures within the system. When analyzing the components involved:

1. Attributes: This is the most granular level where picklists can be directly associated. Attributes are specific characteristics of a product or service, meaning that a picklist can provide predefined values for these attributes, ensuring consistency and simplifying data entry.

2. Object types: At this level, the picklists can be tied to all instances of a certain object type within the system, meaning that any attribute that belongs to that object can utilize the same picklist values. This is particularly useful for maintaining standardized options across multiple instances of related data.

3. Products: Assigning picklists to products allows for specific, controlled choices relevant to individual products, enhancing configuration and selection processes.

By allowing picklists to be assigned at these three levels—attributes, object types, and products—Vlocity enhances the capability to manage data entry, maintain consistency, and provide users with straightforward choices, therefore minimizing errors and improving user experience. This structure supports a more efficient system of managing configurable products and services in a robust manner.
