As well as the standard object types used in Organizational Management, you can ínclude objects types, which you have defined yourself (teams, for example) in the structure.

To be able to edit and display functions, you must do the following in the initial screen

• determine the object type of the start object
• enter the object ID and abbreviation of the start object
• enter an evaluation path

When you enter a start object and evaluation path, a structure appears, in which you can edit and display objects or relationships as well as create new objects and relationships.

Evaluation paths determine the objects and relationships that are to be edited or displayed as well as the new objects and relationships that may be created.

You may only edit and display objects and relationships beneath the start object in the hierarchy that are included in the evaluation path. This also applies to the creation of new objects and relationships.

You create the root object by entering an object type, abbreviation and name. From this root object, you can add subordinate objects and relationships to the structure. By entering an evaluation path, you specify the objects and relationships you wish to include in the structure.

You can edit structures, which already exist, that is, you can delimit, move or delete objects from the structure as well as create new objects in the structure. You may also create, delimit and delete relationships. Via Goto ® Object Description you can also maintain infotypes for individual objects.

If you want to create object or relationship, a dialog box appears, which displays the objects and relationships you may create. The system determines this selection based on the evaluation paths, which you entered.

You can display the evaluation path you have selected by choosing Goto. Icons indicate which relationships may be edited and which may only be displayed.

You can also select a new evaluation path.

By entering a start object and evaluation path, you specify which structures, that is, which objects and relationships you wish to display.
