Defining objects
To define a new object, use an existing definition as the basis for it. We can do this in one of three ways:
- By selecting an object that is a member of a list displayed as a result of options selected on the initial panel. You then enter action type 2 (Define like) in the action field to the left of the selected object. Your new object has the attributes of the selected object, except the disposition. We can then change any attributes in your new object as you require.
- On the initial panel, select the Define like action type, enter the type of object that you are defining in the Object type field, and enter the name of a specific existing object in the Name field. Your new object has the same attributes as the object you named in the Name field, except the disposition. We can then change any attributes in your new object definition as you require.
- By selecting the Define like action type, specifying an object type and then leaving the Name field blank. We can then define your new object and it has the default attributes defined for your installation. We can then change any attributes in your new object definition as you require.
