The UserKeysMD object enables to mange user defined keys of user tables. A user table contains a default primary key that consists of the Code and Name columns. Use the UserKeysMD object to add secondary keys to user tables.

This object enables you to:

• Add a user key (identifier) to a user table.
• Retrieve the values of the object's properties by its KeyIndex and TableName.
• Remove a user key.
• Save the object in XML format.

Source table: OUKD.

DI API allows only one meta data object instance (with no other instances of any object type). This maintains data integrity by preventing any manipulation of a business object while modifying the object's properties.

Furthermore, it is recommended to add user keys while the user table is still empty.

To display the form in the application:

1. From the main menu bar, select Tools --> Manage User Fields.
2. Select a User Table.
3. Click Keys.
