Configuring Assignment Objects for Dynamic Candidates


The Dynamic Candidate object records contain the definition of the various dynamic candidate teams for each assignment object. The properties define the table and column names used when performing a join from the assignment object primary table to the team table to retrieve the dynamic candidates. There are two types of dynamic candidates—single-owner or multiple-owner.

Table 12 provides descriptions of some of the Dynamic Candidate object properties.
