Adding and Linking New Objects 

Use

Objects must be added to an object table before they can be linked to an object lookup field. If you want to link an object lookup field to an object that isn’t already in the MDM repository, the Add/Link New command combines these operations for your convenience.

Procedure

To add a new object to the repository and simultaneously link it to a lookup field:

...

       1.      In the Records pane, select the record(s) containing the lookup fields you want to link to an object.

       2.      In the Record Detail pane, right-click in the object lookup field’s cell and choose Add/Link New from the context menu to open the Add Object dialog.

       3.      Follow the instructions in Adding and Deleting Objects to add the new object.

       4.      Click OK to close the Add Objects dialog and link the added object to the lookup field.

       5.      The Data Manager displays the new, linked object in the lookup field.
