UNICOM^® Digital Transformation Toolkit (UDTT™) contains typed data elements that represent business objects such as Date, ProductNumber and Money. A typed data element identifies how UDTT displays the business object and the validation that must occur when UDTT changes an attribute value.

A typed data element can be either a simple type or a compound type. A simple type has only one property. A compound type has multiple properties. By default, UDTT provides four basic types: String, Number, Date and Currency. UDTT also provides the capabilities that enable a technical developer to implement project-specific data types.
