SDI

This function requires a special feature. Contact Digpro for installation.

Here you can create an inventory of objects that are not part of the NIS model and thus have no direct connection to the network. Available object types are created by an administrator via the SDI Metadata Editor.

For administrators, see section SDI Metadata Editor for a description of how to add object types.

If you have selected something in the SDI tree, you can press Refresh to clear the selection.

1.Press Create new object .

2.Select the object type and press OK.

To create a folder, select the object type Folder.

To create a group, select the object type Group.

3.Fill in the required fields and press OK.

 

Organizing objects

The items in the SDI tree are sorted alphabetically and can be organized in a tree structure:

Move object - Drag and drop an object to the desired location in the tree. To make one object subordinate to another, drag and drop it onto the parent object.

Use folders - The Folder object is used to group objects in the same place in the tree, making it easier to keep track of them.

Use Groups - The Group object allows you to gather objects from different parts of the tree into the same group. This is done via the group object's attribute form.

 

Create a group

1.Add a new object type of the Group type to the tree.

2.Right-click on the created group and select Show/change attributes.

3.Press Add to select and add objects to the group.

4.Press OK when you are done.
