Object Reference attribute types
You use Object Reference attributes to associate marketing objects with projects or other marketing objects. An Object Reference attribute creates a field with a selector attached.
Users can search in the selector for a particular marketing object and then add it to the project or marketing object they are creating or editing.
Multi Select Object Reference and Single Select Object Reference attributes are similar; however, the resulting user interface field can contain multiple entries versus a single entry.
You cannot add these attributes to read-only grids. To add marketing object references to read-only grids, use the Single List Object Reference attribute.
To specify an Object Reference attribute, you enter the following information specific to this attribute type:
Field | Description |
---|---|
Marketing Object Type | The marketing object type of the items you want on the list that is displayed to the user. |
Template ID | The ID of a specific template for the specified marketing object type. If you select the Auto Create check box below, this template is used to create the object. Otherwise, only marketing objects that users create from the specified template display to users. |
On Click go to | Select the destination screen when you click the object link
on a form:
Note: This field is available only for grids. |
Modifies | Use this option when the object that contains this form is
intended to change or update the contents of a marketing object (for
example, a Change Order or Work Request project). Note: This field
is available only for forms. |
References | Use this option to indicate that the marketing object is only
referenced, not modified. Note: This field is available only for forms. |
Auto Create | Select this option to create an "empty" marketing object if
users choose a template that contains a form with this attribute when
they create an object. Note that:
This field is available only for Single Select Object Reference attributes on forms. |
