Business Objects probably pose the most challenges when it
comes to identification. As we have outlined elsewhere, there are
a significant number of different usages for Business Objects.
Each usage is potentially entirely different, and requires both
different conditions and methods to employ the resulting
Business Object.
The different usages of Business Objects we have identified are:
-
Editable table
-
Single editable record
-
Single read-only record
-
List of records
-
Filtered list of records
Although some may appear to be very similar, they still need to
be created differently and used differently. It is also possible for
some types to be used as others, but there still remains these
five unique possible different usages.
Accordingly, we have created a prefix for each of these types. We
list them here with a description of each:
