Configuration object editor window

Configuration objects are created and edited in the editor window.

The editor window includes a set of tabs. The list of tabs and the object properties that they contain depend on the type of object being edited. Though there are significant differences, the editor windows have much in common.

The Main tab is intended for entering the object name, synonym, and comment.

The Data tab is intended for defining the object content, creating attributes, dimensions, and resources, specifying their types and dimensions.

The Forms tab is intended for creating screen forms required for interactive user work with this object type.

For the majority of objects, main forms are specified on the Main tab, and additional metadata objects forms are specified on the Additional tab.

The following table describes the algorithm used to obtain a default form when a user performs interactive actions and when the ObtainForm() method is executed:

	Thick client Ordinary application	Thick client Managed application	Thin and Web client
Main: none Additional: none	Auto (ordinary)	Auto (managed)	Auto (managed)
Main: ordinary Additional: none	Main	Main	Auto (managed)

The Input fields tab is intended for specifying input field behavior settings. The tab is present for the following configuration objects: catalog, document, business process, task, chart of characteristic types, chart of calculation types, chart of accounts, and exchange plan.

Quick choice. Specifies whether quick choice is available. This field is not available for the following configuration objects: document, business process, and task.

Create on input. If no objects matching the specified string are found and you select Use, a new object is created. If you select Do not use, the object is not created.

Attributes searched. The fields searched during input by string.

Search method. The search method during input by string. If you select At beginning of line, only strings that begin with the search string are found. If you select Anywhere in the line, all strings that include the search string are found.

Search results display mode. If you select Regular, waiting for the search results is required. If you select Background, the search is performed in background.

Choice history during the input. Shows whether the choice history is displayed during the input. If you select Auto, the platform automatically determines whether storing and displaying the choice history is required. If you select Do not use, the choice history is not stored.

The Templates tab is intended for creating output form templates.

The Subsystems tab is intended for specifying subsystems to which the objects of this type belong.

The Rights tab is intended for setting read, modify, delete, and other rights for users.

The Interfaces tab is intended for specifying interfaces that use this object type. The tab is visible if the general configuration settings have Managed application and ordinary application mode selected and the Default run mode property of the configuration root object is set to Ordinary application.

On the Other tab, you can click the Help button to open the help page of the object. You can also specify whether the page is included in the online help.
If you select the Include in help contents check box, a help topic whose name matches the object synonym is added to the online help. Regardless of the check box value, the object synonym is added to help index (which is used for searching the online help).

The tab can also contain data lock management and full-text search settings. These settings are only available for the following application objects: exchange plans, catalogs, documents, charts of characteristic types, charts of accounts, charts of calculation types, registers, business processes, and tasks.

The Other tab contains a button that opens the object module for the following configuration objects: exchange plans, catalogs, documents, reports, data processors, charts of characteristic types, charts of accounts, charts of calculation types, business process, and tasks.
