Object information page

The Object Information page is common to all object configuration editors.

This page includes the following fields:

• Description: A short summary of the object’s purpose.

• Hierarchical Name: The fully qualified name of a contained object, including the container object’s TagName.

• Container: The name of the other object that contains this object, if applicable.

• Codebase: The code version of the object.

• Derived From: The immediate parent template of the object, either a base or derived template.

• Host: Another object to which the object is assigned (for example, a WinPlatform hosts an AppEngine). An object's host determines where an object will run when it is deployed.

• Area: An object that represents a logical grouping to which this object belongs. An object's area mostly affects the way in which its alarms are reported to alarm clients.

• Security group: The security group the object is associated with.

• Execution order: If you want this object to run before or after another object within its engine's scan, select from the Process order list. Select the Browse button to specify the Relative object in the Attribute Browser. For more information about the Attribute Browser, see Use the galaxy browser to reference objects .

• Add Object Help: Opens a copy of the HTML help page for the template this object is derived from. You can edit this information. This allows you to create Help about the object you are currently configuring for downstream users. This Help appears when you select an object in a view and then select Object Help on the Help menu. See Customize help for more information.
