These fields allow you to select which objects should be documented in your report.

To do so:

  • Name a single type of object in the From field, for example, S. The report only documents the specified object.
  • Name a list of types of objects, for example, S and O. To list more than two types of objects, click on the right direction arrow. A window appears that allows you to enter a list.

Supplementary Documentation - OTYPE 2000

Use this field, together with the Object field, to identify which object should be used as the "root" object. The root object is the object the system uses as a starting point, when it traces the structure, to determine which objects meet the conditions set. The system checks from the root object, down through the structure.

Procedure

Use this field to identify the type of object the root object is.

To do so:

  • type in the appropriate abbreviation, or
  • request a list of object types and make a selection by:
    . pressing F4, or
    . clicking on the down arrow

NOTE: The root object may be different from the check object. For example, the check object may be positions, but the root object may be an organizational unit.
