Enables you to maintain the objects that are used within ResourceLink. An object is a categorisation of functionality within the system, that controls items such as how the data is accessed, what screens can be used and what key numbers can be associated with it, for example:

• EMPLOYEE - Can be accessed by employee number or name, Employee Personal Details can be used and it has an Employee Number associated with the record.
• EMPPROCESS - Process run by the system against employees, selection can be by individual employee or groups within a structure unit but does not relate to data held against the system.

Objects are categorised as base objects and human objects. Objects that are distributed with ResourceLink should be modified with care.
