Add custom objects to the Content tab and search

To display your custom business object in the Content tab of Active Workspace, you must add it to the Awb0SupportsStructure global constant in the Business Modeler IDE. This procedure also allows instances of the custom business object to be returned by in-context searches if the object is indexed, and also adds the Add Element button for the custom object.

Procedure

  1. In the Business Modeler IDE, ensure the Active Content Structure template is loaded and then open the Global Constants Editor.

  2. Select the Awb0SupportsStructure constant and then click Edit.

  3. In the Add dialog box of the Edit window, enter the name of the class corresponding to the first custom object you want to display.

  4. Repeat the previous step for each of the other custom objects you want to display.

  5. Click Finish on both the Modify Global Constant and the Add Value dialog boxes to save the additions.

    Note: On some systems, you may have to reopen each additional object in the Edit window and save the entry again for each added item. Failure to save your entries on the first attempt does not necessarily indicate they are incorrect.

To enable the custom objects to be returned by in-context searches, set the Awp0SearchIsIndexed business object constant to true on each custom object.
