Introduction

In Wedia’s data model objects and properties are the main entities. All changes and enhancements on both objects and properties can be made in the Object Management which is located in the administration space.

Figure 1. Administration

 

Figure 2. Administration > Object Management

 

URL of the Object Management view

... /admin/ebnStructure?form_object=activated&form_action=StructureEdit

 

General URL for displaying an object

... form_action=…​&form_object=…​&form_id=…​

e.g. "http://mydomain.com/wcm.jspz?form_action=dataview&form_object=asset&form_id=123"

 

The object’s name can be changed to get access to other objects (only in unsecure mode, see below for further information)
