This section covers the basic functionality of creating, editing, and deleting objects in the Tree, as well as providing an overview of the commonalities between the various object editors. Regardless of the particular object type or hierarchy that you are working with, the general principles of creating and maintaining objects are the same.
It is helpful if the Basic STEP Concepts topic in this guide (here) has been read and understood prior to reading this material.
A variety of components are available for creating and maintaining objects in Web UI. For more information, refer to the Web User Interfaces documentation here. Additionally, objects are often created or maintained within workflows, or via imports, integration endpoints, bulk updates, etc. These types of object maintenance are outside the scope of this material, but additional information is available in the relevant guides throughout STEP Online Help.
Note: All actions are controlled via privileges. Some users may not have access to create or delete objects, or may only have options to edit specific object types, hierarchies, or attribute values.
The information below focuses strictly on the means for carrying out the various actions, and assumes that all required privileges are available to do so. More information on privileges is available in the Privilege Rules topic in the System Setup documentation here.
Refer to the relevant section(s) below for detailed information on working with objects in the workbench:
