Object Tables at a Glance 

Object lookup tables (figure below) are MDM subtables which contain objects such as images, text blocks, and PDFs. Each record in an object table corresponds to a single object. These objects can then be linked to main table and subtable records via lookup fields.

You can add, delete, search, and edit records in an object table like any other MDM table. However, object tables have several distinct differences from other tables:

●      Commands. In addition to the main menu Records commands for manipulating the records of a table, additional Objects menu commands are also available.

●      Fields. The set of fields of each object record in an object lookup table is fixed, and most of them are read-only.

●      Record Detail tab. The Record Detail tab places the object field (which is not a lookup when the current table is the object table) on the left rather than the right side of the splitter, and places the other object table fields on the right.

See Object Operations for more information about object-specific commands.

The fields for each object lookup table are described in the following sections.
