Creating Supporting Objects
To create a supporting object
Use the
Administration View to display a list of existing supporting objects in the
Contents View. Click
in the view's toolbar to start the New Object wizard for creating a new object.
Use the
My View or
Registry Explorer View to navigate to the parent object under which you want to create the new registry object. Select the type of registry object you want to create from the New submenu in the parent's context menu. This starts the New Object wizard. The New submenu offers all the object types available for new registry objects at this position. For example, if you have selected an organization, you can create objects of type Organization or User below it.
The pages of the New Object wizard differ, depending on the type of supporting object you are creating. To fill in the wizard:
1. On the first page of the wizard, specify the new object's
Properties of Registry Objects, as requested. The properties depend on the type of registry object you are creating. For all types of object, you can specify a name and a description. The name and description you enter are stored for the language selected in the
Changing Preference Settings of the Eclipse Workbench. Clicking the
button next to the Name or Description field opens a
Edit Dialog where you can enter names and descriptions for different locales.
2. Click Next to move to the next wizard page, or click Finish to create the object now without defining custom properties.
3. On the Custom Properties page, you can define
Properties of Registry Objects for the new registry object. For each property, you can define a name, a namespace in which the property is valid and one or several values.
4. Click Finish to close the wizard and open the
Details Editor for the new object.
6. Save the object's definition, for example, by selecting File > Save from the main menu or by typing Ctrl+S.
