Inserting a Record in the Supertype Object with a Subtype
You can insert a record into a supertype object regardless of whether there is a subtype entity. Follow the corresponding procedure for the scenario.
Insert a record in the supertype object, which results in a new record in the subtype object when the subtype object exists, but no default value is provided in the supertype indicator column.
To insert a record in a supertype entity when there is a subtype entity and no default value
1. On the Menu toolbar, click Manage > Manage Data.
2. Navigate to the object that you want to edit and select it.
3. Click Insert > Insert or Insert > Insert Multiple.
OneData displays the supertype and an option to choose which subtype object to update.

The Insert screen displays a blank row or rows for the supertype object, along with attributes for the selected subtype object.
