Task 6: Verify that the Domain-Based Attribute is Created using Master Data Manager
In this task, you verify that the State entity is created in MDS and the State attribute of the Supplier entity is a domain-based attribute that depends on the State entity by using Master Data Manager.
Switch to the Master Data Manger web application.
Click SQL Server 2012 Master Data Services at the top to get to the home page.
Ensure that Suppliers model is selected and click Explorer. You could refresh the page if you already had Explorer open.
Hover your mouse over Entities on the menu bar and notice that now there are two entities: Supplier and State.
Click State if the entity is not open already.
Select GA from the list.
In the Details pane to the right, change the Name to Georgia in the right pane, and click OK.
Repeat the previous steps for other states.

You should see the transaction for the update you just made is in the list of transactions.
Hover the mouse over Entities menu and click Supplier.
Now, notice that a value for the State field can be changed in the Details pane by using the drop-down list. You can also see that, in the list to the left and in the drop-down list in the Details pane, code is displayed first and then the name in curly braces.
