Object Manager

The Object Manager is the interface within a Blueprint in CSM Administrator that allows you to manage (create, edit, and delete) the various aspects of a Business Object and perform various Business Object operations. Use the Object Manager to:

• Create, edit, and delete Business Objects.
• Manage Business Object structure:
  • Relationships
  • Actions
  • Approvals
  • Mapping options (to external data)
• Manage Business Object appearance:
  • Forms
  • Grids
  • Form Arrangements (Major Objects only)
• Perform various Business Object operations:
  • Scan a Business Object for potential problems
  • Undo Business Object changes within a Blueprint
  • Add a Business Object to a Blueprint
  • View Blueprint Changes for a Business Object
  • Export the Business Object as a Schema
  • View the Business Object's Publish Log

The Object Manager is opened from within a Blueprint in CSM Administrator.

1. View: Displays the currently selected Business Object View and shows which Business Objects in the Object Tree are included in the View.

   Note: Business Object Views allow different Users to see different instances of a Business Object. The Default View is the view that all Users will see if a custom view has not been created. The Business Objects that are not available for a particular View are still listed but are grayed out and cannot be selected.

2. Object Types: Filters Business Objects by type.
3. Object Tree: Displays Business Objects (in alphabetical order) of the selected type and included in the selected View.
4. Business Object Tasks: Displays a list of available operations that allow you to edit the structure and appearance of a Business Object, and perform other operations as necessary (scan for problems, export a Schema, etc.).
