Creating an "Object" type property
You can create and configure the structure of an "Object" type property in ELMA Designer, and fill this property with values in Web Application. To learn more about "Object" type property, see the respective Help section.
Editing an "Object" type property
You can edit an "Object" type property on the Properties tab of the required object page.
To view or edit an "Object" type property page, open the Properties tab of the required object page and:
double click the name of the required property;
select the required "Object" property and click Edit in the toolbar;
click Edit in the context menu of the required "Object" property.
A dialog box for editing the "Object" property is similar to the dialog box for creating the "Object" property. To learn more, see the respective Help section.
Deleting an "Object" type property
To delete an "Object" type property page, open the Properties tab of the required object page and:
select the required "Object" property and click Delete in the toolbar;
click Delete in the context menu of the required "Object" property.
Confirm deleting in the opened dialog box.
Links between objects
When you create an "Object" type property, you have to specify the type of objects link. These are the link types, used in ELMA:
Single (1-1) – one object instance corresponds to one instance of the other object. For example, only one particular contract can have an additional agreement.
Many to many – one object instance corresponds to several instances of the other object and vice versa. This link type is called "List" in a process context. For example, one task can have several executors, and each executor can have several tasks.
There are also the multiple (1-N) and many to many (inversion) link types. For example, one contract can have several additional agreements, acts and invoices. However, these types are seldom used, when working with the "Object" type property.
