In-Depth Information
Users can associate perspective hierarchies to objects within a module and specify
UDAs for a perspective hierarchy. When a perspective hierarchy is associated with
a given object, it appears in records for that object under a special perspectives
section. If the perspective hierarchy is marked as required, this information must
be provided for records when they are created or edited.
A perspective associates a record with a specific piece of information, and that
information can serve as a filtering value as users search through large sets of data
or run reports. It can also serve to allow or deny access to a record, based on how
data roles are constructed.
Specific perspective hierarchies may be associated with specific objects within
specific modules. This gives a lot of flexibility in how you set up your perspectives
within the modules. Start with a few simplistic perspectives until you understand
better how you may want to use them in future.
Perspective hierarchies provide structure to the objects being managed in the
application by grouping objects together with a common category, which can then
be used for sorting, filtering, and reporting. Perspectives are also the drivers for
data-level security.
