Types represent data elements that instantiate using a type. When
you add a type using the CHA Editor, the editor adds the definition for the
type to the type definition file.
To create a type:
In the CHA Type view, right-click anywhere.
Select Add new type.
From the list of type categories, select one:
DataField - for a simple type
IndexedCollection - for an indexed collection of types
KeyedCollection - for a keyed collection of types
From the listed descriptors, select the appropriate one.
If you created a DataField and want to add a converter:
Expand the type so that you can see its descriptor.
Right-click the descriptor.
Select Add converter.
From the list of converters, select the one you want the type
to use.
If you created a DataField and want to add a validator:
Expand the type so that you can see its descriptor.
Right-click the descriptor.
Select Add validator.
From the list of validators, select the one you want the type
to use.
