Starting Tables

Scroll Prev Top Next More

The first table that you see when you open Object Navigator is the starting table, which is the point from which your path originates.

Specifying your starting table is important because it corresponds to a table in the object model. Object Model: Read This First explains each table's attributes and where any bridges and bridge attributes lead. Using this information about your starting table, you can make selections that navigate to the desired attribute.

The starting table typically depends on the object for which you are building the path. For example, if you are defining rules, templates, search views, or wizards for an object, the starting table is the main table of that object (usually with the prefix T). There are 'T" tables for eleven system objects, including Involved (for example, TInvolved).

For custom objects, the starting table is TProject. The TProject starting table is labeled with the name of the custom object, such as Matter or Claim, unless the specific custom object is not known. If you are building a path for a current user, the starting table is YUser.

The following table provides a list of starting tables that appear in Object Navigator in different screens. If you are not sure which attribute, bridge, or bridge attribute to select from these tables, refer to Object Model: Read This First.
