Working With the EDM for Sun Master Index

Viewing Object Profiles on the EDM

The View/Edit page displays object profiles in a series of pages you can select and view. You can view information associated with any of the SBR or system record components in an object profile. The SBR contains the information that is determined to be the most current and accurate information about that object from all local systems. By default, when the View/Edit page first appears, information in the SBR is visible.

The system records associated with a profile contain the information that is stored in the external systems that share information with the master index application. The information in an object’s system records might not match the information stored in the object’s SBR.
