Object Browsing (dmcomobjbrows)

Use this session to browse data related to an object. The data that is available depends on the Object type. The data presented resembles a tree structure, with each branch representing a type of data, such as properties, related change objects, or linked objects.

The Object Browser (or the Browser) is a framework that provides a clear and consistent view of complex structured objects in LN.

The Object Browser presents the following types of Links:

  • A vertical linkage (or a parent-child linkage): A linkage in which the first object is at a higher level than the other object. A typical example for this type is the relation between an item and one of the item's components.
  • A horizontal Linkage : A linkage in which both objects are at the same logical level.
  • An embedded linkage: A linkage in which one object is (logically) contained inside a second object.

Navigation

  • Click a plus (+) sign to view the levels in the structure.
  • Click an object to display the levels that contain the data categories, such as child links to the object and so on, available for the object.
  • Click a data category to display the levels that contain the objects in the category, if any. For example, while you browse in a folder, click the Objects inside Folder label to display a list of the folder contents.

Viewing and maintaining object details

To open a new browse session with a highlighted object as the root, select the session from the appropriate menu.
