object

A unique Optiva entity, such as a specific formula, item or parameter. Objects are defined on their own separate form and can be looked up, searched, referenced, and viewed. Each object is created as a certain symbol type, such as Formula, Item or Company.

You can configure symbols by adding attributes and capabilities to the symbol that do not already exist. This modifies and extends the behavior of the symbol in these ways:

To enable the symbol for use with Workflow so that users can launch a workflow on an object created under that symbol.
To define annotation categories, such as a safety warning, accessed using the paperclip button.
To define sets to classify objects.
To define extension fields to store additional information.
To define status and approval codes for the symbols.
