Object Page Views

Just as you can have Multiple Index Pages for one Object Type, you can also have multiple Object Pages for an Object Type.

When you have more than one Object Page for an Object Type, it is called a View.

You can use Views to offer a different perspective on the object in focus, perhaps showing a different set of properties to the default page, or show the object in context, based on its relationships to other objects.

When a user views an Object Page, the default page is the one which has a Page Name matching the Object Type name, such as 'process' for the Process Object Type. Any other pages, or Views, are displayed as links in a menu above the page title, so the user can click them to view the pages.

Creating Object Page Views

To create an Object Page View, simply create a new Object Page for your Object Type - in exactly the same way you would for any Object Page.

However, you must make sure your new Object Page has a unique Page Name - you cannot for example have two Object Pages titled 'process', so you should rename the new one so that it is different.

In every other respect, creating an Object Page View is the same as creating a standard Object Page.
