    The steps to create a data class are as follows:

    1. In the Symantec Management Console, on the Settings menu, click All Settings.
    2. In the left pane, click Notification Server > Resource and Data Class Settings > Data Classes >CMDB Data Classes.
    3. In the left pane, right-click the folder where you want to create a custom data class, and then click New > Editable Data Class.
    4. On the New Editable Data Class page, give the data class a name and add the attributes.

      The name of the database table that is linked to the data class is created from the name of this data class. It begins with the prefix Inv_ followed by the data class name. The spaces in the data class name are replaced with the underscore character. Note that the table name persists even if you later change the name of the data class.

      Data class attributes define the data that data classes store. Data class attributes appear as fields when you enter data. After you add a data class attribute to a data class, you can edit certain aspects of the attribute. You can edit the description and control if it is hidden, but you cannot delete the description from the data class. You cannot add data class attributes to a predefined data class. For example, the Manufacturer data class contains the Manufacturer Name and Model data class attributes.

      Data class attribute parameters specify the characteristics of a data class attribute such as name, description, and maximum length of the attribute. For each data class attribute, you must specify values for each of the parameters. You can specify the type, number, and order of characters in a field. For example, the name to be entered into the Manufacturer Name data class attribute might have a parameter of less than 256 characters.

    5. Click Save changes.
