Procedure
Use the following procedure to connect a design part to a design object by
entry:
- Open the Design Object or
Design Objects window.
- Search for the design object to which you want to connect a design part.
- In the Design Part field, enter the ID of the design part
to be connected or use the List of Values to select a suitable design part.
- Click Save.
Use the following procedure to connect a
design part to a design object via Drag & Drop:
- On the Business Object Explorer, navigate to and highlight a design part, and
hold down the left mouse button.
- Drag the design part through the navigator structure, opening nodes as required to locate the object.
- Place the mouse pointer (with connected design part) over another object's
Design Parts folder.
- Drop the design part onto the folder by releasing the mouse button.
A successful drag and drop occurs when the receiving object accepts the
design part. A non-valid drag and drop operation, e.g., dropping the design part
into the wrong folder, results in an error message. Drag and drop connects and
saves simultaneously. Refer to About Tree Views
for the allowed drag and drop operations.
