Modifying Object Definitions


To modify an object definition in the Object List Editor

  1. Be sure the project the object is a part of is locked.
  2. For information about locking projects, see Application Development Projects.

  3. In the Object Explorer window, select the relevant object type.
  4. In the Object List Editor window, select the object definition you want to change.
  5. Use the TAB key to move the cursor to the specific value you want to change.
  6. NOTE:  It is recommended that you use the TAB key to move from property column to property column in the object definition—if you use the mouse you might unintentionally change the value of a Boolean property.

  7. Type in a new value, or pick a value from the picklist (if one is provided).
  8. To commit your changes, click anywhere outside the modified row (or move outside the row with the UP or DOWN arrow).
  9. A check mark appears in the Changed column (for more information about the Changed column, see Understanding the Changed Flag and Pencil Icon).
