    Module 23: Editing and


    Compiling Object Definitions
    Module Objectives

    After completing this module you will be able to:


     Create new and edit existing object definitions
     Validate edited object definitions
     Archive object definitions and projects
     Back up the local database
     Compile object definitions into a repository file

    Why you need to know:


     These are all fundamental activities that occur during all
    configuration efforts

     Select the object definition to edit using the Object Explorer and
    Object List Editor
     Make sure that project has been locked
     Edit the property
     Type in a value
     Pick a value from a picklist (if provided)

    Indicates project locked Type in a value Select a value

    Module 23: Editing and Compiling Object Definitions 3 of 26


    Creating a New Object Definition
     Select the desired object type in the Object Explorer
     Create a new record in the Object List Editor

     Available for importing into other repositories
     Have .sif extension by default
     Are used to share object definitions in multiple repository
    development
     Are used to back up object definitions
     Can be version-controlled using source control systems

    Rapid Unit Testing
     Allows developers to test changes in a local instance of the
    Mobile Web Client
     Run-time behavior when
    user compiles SRF
     If Web client is running:
     At end of compile, browser
    window refreshes
     User is brought back to
    view displayed immediately
    before compile
     If Web client is not running:
     If user checked auto-start,
    Web client is started using
    debug setting
     If user did not check auto-
    start, standard application
    home page opens
