Association Manager Field

Setting up the Control

Association Manager Field controls work on Object Editor Forms, focussed on the object you have open.  You cannot use the Association manger field control to work on objects that are not the focus of the Form that the control is located on.

When adding an Association Manager Field control to an object editor form it needs to be positioned under a "Field Set Container" that is under a "Form".  Once added you can configure the Control with the following settings;

Association Type

This setting will display the list of available Association Types for the object that is the focus of the object editor form being worked on.  You select Association Type you want the control to manage for the object.  For example, in the screenshot below, the Object Editor form being worked on is based on an object that has a list of Association Types configured for it.  We select the type of Association that we want the Association Manager Field control to provide.  If we select "Children" then, when the Form is opened for a specific objectID, the control will display all of the objects Children.  If the User who is using the form has "Manage Associations" permissions on the object concerned, then they will also be able to Add / Edit / Delete associations between this object and other permitted objects in the system.
