Object Browser

Use the Object Browser to define and categorize relationships between objects in LN ODM. The Object Browser offers a hierarchical view of multiple level objects, and the relations among the objects.

You can perform actions from the Object Browser based on the type of object, Example:

  • Display the documents attached to an object
  • List and open the document revisions and attached file sessions
  • Display the file contents, with the help of the multilevel structure

You can use a new browser window for operational comfort.

The objects that appear in the browser have the following three types of nodes:

  • Properties: Click the node to view the list of object properties, as defined in the Object Families (dmsys1512m000) session.
  • Child: An object has a child node if child objects are attached to the node. Click the Child node to view the list of child objects.
  • Leaf: A leaf node is the child of the root object or a subtree to which no child objects are attached.
Note: A root object has no parent object and has a subtree as its child. A subtree can also have another subtree as a child.

To use the object browser, click Browse on the Specific menu of the respective ODM object. The user can select the browser options from the Object Family (dmsys1512m000) session. You have the following browser options:

  • Display members of the current Object Family: Use this option to browse the members (objects) of the family.
  • Display all Object families whose owner, is the owner of the current family: Use this option to browse all the families owned by the owner of the selected family.
  • Display all Object Families whose member is the owner of the current Object family from where the browser is initiated for the selected object: Use this option to browse the families for which the current owner is a member in the object families.
