Creating Object Types

To create document types or folder types, follow these steps:

1. Open the Projects area via the View ribbon tab.

   Projects are shown in the Projects area with the project file name in the hierarchical structure tree.

2. In the project schema in the context menu of an object type section, select New document type or New folder type.

   A creation dialog opens.

   

3. Enter the following information:
   • Display name The display name is used on the yuuvis® RAD client user interface. Assign a meaningful name. The display name may contain uppercase and lowercase letters, as well as spaces and special characters.,
   • Technical name A technical name is used in scripts to refer to an object type. If there is a preset technical name, it should not be changed. The technical name must start with a letter and only contain letters, numbers, and underscores. It may not start with the string 'sys' and cannot be 'no'. The technical name is not displayed on interfaces.,
   • Persistence name The persistence name ensures unique and permanent identification in the database. The persistence name must not be changed after activation. Unauthorized changes, e.g., those resulting from deleting or creating data, can lead to inconsistencies in the database. The persistence name is limited to a maximum of nine letters in lowercase and cannot contain spaces or special characters.,
   • Abstract types from which your object type is derived,
   • Filing location where your object type can be contained 'root' is the top layer and filing location in the filing structure for folders. A document type can be allowed once or as often as desired in the folder type of the group. The 'Without (0)' setting blocks the filing location for this object type.

4. Click OK.

   The object type is created and a tab view will open in the workspace.

   An asterisk ('*') is appended to the edited and unsaved object type and schema for marking.

   Define the properties of your document type in the Properties view area.

   You can create the fields in the Fields view area.

   You can edit the filing locations in the Filing locations view area.

   You can create forms in the Form view area.

   You can create names for languages in the Localization view area.

   You can specify the structural elements for the structure tree for the folder type of a group in the Structure tree view area.

5. When you have entered all the information you require, click Save on the Object type tab.

   The project is saved.

6. In the context menu of the edited project, click Deploy if you want to immediately deploy the project on the server.

   The project with the changed data is saved and deployed on the server.

yuuvis® RAD client automatically reloads the deployed project.
