  Click the Type field drop-down and select a type from the list; see Understanding Data Types.

  You can only change the data type for an attribute when it contains no data. If your attribute already contains data, see Clearing and Loading Data in an ERD.

• Adding an expression: Expressions can be added to attributes to apply processing or populate a value. For example, to uppercase the values in the attribute or setting a fixed string value. See Functions for all available options.
