What are dynamic business objects?

Dynamic business objects are used to view data relationships. Example: an order is assigned to a customer – on the customer you want to see the orders as a list. A dynamic BO produces that list.

Menu: Configuration → Data sources → Dynamic business objects

Creating via a data source

The data source requires two mandatory columns (unchangeable, must be part of the query):

INTID – ID of the object storing the reference.
INTID_T_UD_GENERICOBJECT – ID of the object where the data is embedded as a sub-form.

All further columns appear in the sub-form; the alias becomes the column header.

Embedding in the layout

The dynamic BO is available in the layout like a normal BO; its name always starts with dyn_. Like normal BOs it must be added to the status model for permissions.

Read-only

A dynamic BO is read-only – editing data is not possible. Use the context menu „show details“ to jump into the record.

Tips

For timestamps the alias must end in _as_timestamp (otherwise Nuclos truncates the time). Images (e.g. traffic lights) are not detected automatically – the metadata (t_md_dynamicentity.clbmetaxml or the .meta export) must be adjusted manually (<javatype>org.nuclos.common.NuclosImage</javatype>).
