Define Group Properties for a Business Object

Use the Group page in the Business Object Properties window to define whether a Business Object is:

Not a member of a Group: Does not belong to a Group.
Group Leader: Is the leader (root) of a Group, and stores common Fields that all Group Members share.
Member of Group: Belongs to an existing Group, which means it descends from a Group Leader and shares common Fields with other Group Members. However, each Group Member has some unique information associated with it.

Good to know:

Add a Group Member directly to a Group Object by clicking a Group Leader in the Object tree, and then clicking the New Group Member task in the Structure area.
Newly created Group Members are assigned the default Business Object rights.

To define Group properties for a Business Object:

Open the Business Object Properties window.
Click the Group page.
Define Group properties:
- Not a Member of a Group: Select this radio button if the Business Object will not be a Group Leader or Group Member.
  Note: If you select this option, the Group page will no longer be available in the Business Object Properties window after the Business Object is created and its basic properties are defined.
- Group Leader: Select this radio button to make the Business Object a Group Leader (the root of a Group). When you create Business Objects to be Group Members under this Group Leader, they will be listed in the Group Members section.
- Member of _____ Group: Select this radio button to make the Business Object a member of an existing Group. Then, select the Group Leader in the drop-down (the existing Group Members will be listed in the Group Members section).
Select OK.
Publish the Blueprint (File>Publish Blueprint) to commit the changes, or save the Blueprint (File>Save Blueprint) to continue making other changes.
Note: Before publishing a Blueprint that contains Business Objects, ensure that each Business Object has at least one Form and one Grid defined and that all of the appropriate Fields have been created.
