Creating and Linking a New Object

A new object can be created and linked to the selected object in a single operation. This operation adds a new object and creates a General link. (The new object can be located any time by performing a Search operation or by displaying the Links card and clicking the link.)

To add and link a new object:

  1. Select the source object to display its Profile Card.
  2. From the Edit Actions menu or Command Toolbar, select .
  3. Select a target object from the class tree.
  4. The Create Linked Object window appears.

    Note: Using the Cancel button. If you select after creating at least one linked object, you are prompted with this message before the window closes "Would you like to link the created object(s) to the parent object: (parent object ID - parent object description)".

  9. Repeat step 5 for each object you want to create and link except the last object.
  10. For the last object, fill-in the class Profile Card type in the object properties, click OK and if relevant, select one of these options:
    • If a single link type exists between the source object and the new target object, and the link does not support configuration views, the link is created and you are redirected to the source object Profile Card
    • If the target object has more than one link type connecting the source and the target object, or the link type supports configuration views, you are prompted to select the link type or select configuration views
      • Select the link properties you require and click
      • Link to Create%20Linked%20Objects%204_Multi%20link%20type_Config%20view_new.gifC

The link is created and you are redirected to the source object Profile Card.

The created linked objects also appear in the Recent Objects pane of the cockpit window.
