This activity is used to define object types for macros. The selected attributes from these object types will be available for use in the macro code. Custom fields and even alternative database views for a certain object type, are supported.
Optionally, you can enter an alternative view name in the Alternative View Name. It should be a view name that includes all the keys of the selected object type but which can have different attributes than the base view has. If there are custom fields added to the object, the custom field view can, but does not have to be added here. It will be used automatically, if it exists (e.g. for the object type DocFolder, if there is a view named doc_folder_cfv, it will be used). If an alternative view name is set here, it will override any custom field view for the object
To perform this activity, the object you wish to define should be made document-aware.
As a result of this activity, it will be possible to use attributes of these object types when writing macros.
