Business Objects 

Business objects are structure elements. This means that they are elements that in turn contain subelements. Subelements of business objects can be:

·        ArchiveLink documents that are linked with the business object

·        Other business objects that are linked with the business object

·        BDS documents that are linked with the business object

The linked business objects can only be displayed.
