How the Docking Wizard Behaves Depending on Where You Start It

The behavior of the Docking Wizard differs depending on if you start it from a table or a table column.

If you start the Docking Wizard from a table, then the following applies:

• If the custom table is a stand-alone table, then you must create a new dock object for the table, and then create the dock object visibility rules.

• If the custom table includes foreign keys to other custom tables that already exist in some dock objects, then you can do one of the following:

  • Create a new dock object.

  • Add the table to a predefined custom dock object.

• If you start the Docking Wizard from a stand-alone custom table, then only the Create a New Dock Object option is active in the Add Table to Object dialog box. The Add the Table to an Existing Dock Object option is not active.

If you start the Docking Wizard from a column, then you do not need to make any choices. The Docking Wizard adds the following dock object visibility rules:

• For a regular foreign key, the Docking Wizard adds the following dock object visibility rules:

  • One rule from the dock object of the table to the dock object of the foreign key table

  • One rule from the dock object of the foreign key table to the dock object of the table

  These rules are for a Check Dock Object visibility type.

• For a foreign key to the S_POSTN table, the Docking Wizard only adds a position dock object visibility rule.
