Creating an Object

There are two methods of creating an object.

Option 1:

• After creating your application, you will be presented with a blank canvas. Ensure that configuration mode is on. (The green spanner  icon on the top right is enabled.)   locate the  button and click once.
• This will load the Create New Page selection screen.
• Select New Object -> Create.

Option 2:

• Navigate to the Application Menu  on the top right of your screen and select Administration.
• Locate Resources -> Objects.
• Click New to create a new Object.

The New Object dialog box

1. Enter a value for your Object name.
2. Briefly describe the usage of this object in to the description field.
3. The Script name is automatically populated as you key in your Object name. Both Object and Script names should match.
4. Link this object to your newly created Application.  Click on the pencil icon beside the Applications field, search and select your new application from the list.
5. Click OK when done or Cancel to start over again.

Note: The creation of the object triggers the automatic creation of a default form and default report for that object. In addition, after the object has been created, to streamline the configuration process, the created form will automatically be loaded in Edit Mode for you to add fields.
