Business Object Designer Express provides a tabbed dialog box with two screens for creating and editing a definition:
When you first create or open a definition, the Attributes tab opens.
Figure 28 illustrates the environment for defining and editing attributes.
For information on using the General and Attributes tabs, see Creating a business object definition.
Business Object Designer Express allows you to open separate windows to edit definitions for a parent business object definition and its contained child.
Figure 29 illustrates the separate windows for editing parent and child business objects.
Notice that the Address attribute in the Contact business object is collapsed in Figure 29. You can expand the attribute so that the Contact window displays all attributes of the Address business object, which enables you to edit the child directly from the parent. To prevent you from changing the same definition in two places, however, the tool automatically closes a child business object's window whenever you expand a child business object within its parent business object.
Figure 30 illustrates the tool after Contact's Address attribute has been expanded and the Address window has been closed.
