Object Classes

Object Classes are one of the core building blocks of an Autologyx solution.

They define the structure of the Object Records your users will work with and provide the foundation for forms, permissions, tasks, workflows, document generation, and reporting. In practice, when you are designing a new application in Autologyx, Object Classes are usually one of the first things you need to think about.

This section is most relevant to Config Admins, analysts, and builders who are responsible for defining how data should be captured, presented, and governed within the platform.

What you will find in this section

Understand Object Classes and create the class

Start here if you want to understand what an Object Class is, why it matters, and how to create one.

• What Are Object Classes?
• How Do I Create An Object Class
• What Can I Edit In An Object Class

Define the class structure and fields

These pages are about shaping the structure of the class itself, including the fields it contains and the types of data it can hold.

• Object Class Field Types Uses And Attributes
• Creating Object Class Fields
• Editing Object Class Fields
• Edit Object Class Remove Fields

Build the UI and forms

Once the class structure is in place, these pages help you shape how users interact with it in the platform.

• Edit Object Class Configure Displays
• Create A Standalone Form
• Editing A Standalone Form

Configure access and permissions

These pages explain how access works at both class and record level, and how to configure permissions and assignee behaviour.

• Explanation Of Class Permissions
• Explanation Of Record Permissions
• Edit Object Class Creating Class Permissions And Addremove Assignees
• Edit Object Class Editing Permission Sets

Suggested build flow

A sensible order for working with Object Classes is:

1. Understand what the class needs to represent.
2. Create the Object Class.
3. Add and refine the fields.
4. Configure displays and forms.
5. Define class and record permissions.
6. Review what can be edited safely once the class is in use.

Where to go next

Once your Object Class structure is in place, the next related areas are often:

• Object class relationships
• Relational Modeller
• Task Templates
• Sequences
• Working with Document Templates

Notes

INFO

This section is focused on designing and maintaining the structure of an Object Class itself — its fields, forms, displays, and permissions.

TIP

If you are new to building in Autologyx, a good place to begin is What Are Object Classes?, then How Do I Create An Object Class, followed by Creating Object Class Fields.
