Framework:Object administration

This can be opened through the CoPlanner menu and the menu command “Developer mode/object administration“.

Object administration

Object administration offers a folder structure to manage objects. Here it is possible to create new objects, to process existing objects and to delete existing objects.

An object can be either

• a table
• a dimension
• a formula
• a macro
• an input mask
• a subset
• an import
• a report
• or an agg mask

The objects are the basis for the entire planning process. All planning data entered by the user are written to a corresponding object and saved.

The tree

The tree presents a hierarchic view of all objects (like Windows Explorer).

The object list

The area on the right is the object list – it lists all objects that are contained in the highlighted folder. However, the object list does not only show the objects that are directly contained in this folder, it also shows all objects of the subordinated folders in the selected folder. You could say that the right side is the flat (as opposed to hierarchical) depiction of all objects that exist downstream of the selected object in the tree (however, on the right side no folders are listed because they are only relevant for the hierarchical structure in the tree). The objects listed on a white background are the objects that are contained directly in the highlighted folder, the objects listed on a blue background are the objects that are contained in a subfolder.

The selection box

For a view that shows only elements belonging to a certain object type, click the selection box and choose the desired object type. The object list is then filtered as follows: it will now only show all objects fulfilling the chosen object type criteria that are contained in the selected folder from the tree.
