TASK: Locate the list of available fields for a given dialog box

In this task you will learn how to locate available fields for a given dialog box.

This assumes you know the name of the object you want to examine.

In this example, we will take a look to the article object.

To get familiar with other objects, see Short guide to frequently used objects.

You will be able to perform this task only if:

•You are able to run the Schema viewer in EdAdmin4, find an object and review its attributes.

Additional useful reading may be Review the schema in EdAdmin4.

1.Run EdAdmin4 and then in the Application Configuration section, click Schema.

2.Scroll down in the leftmost pane and expand objects until you find the article object (that is a child of the linkObject, that in turn is a child of the folderObject), and then click it to display its attributes.

3.Review the available attributes, clicking on each to get details, and having in mind the following:

oThe attributes marked as Is Computed: True cannot be edited in dialog boxes, but only displayed as read-only.

oYou cannot add the same attribute twice (on the same tab or on another tab): only one instance is allowed.

oIn case of the MultiReference attributes, you can add to the dialog only the root attribute (a.g. assigns) and not its children (e.g. pageRef etc.)
