Working With Entities - Adding Related Entities<br />
88 • <strong>SDM</strong>-DESIGNTRACKER <strong>5.0</strong> USER GUIDE<br />
This function allows you to select all objects or individual objects related to a single<br />
entity to include on the Check Out selection panel. This information is retrieved from<br />
either <strong>SDM</strong>-Implementer, or from PathFinder (using API calls) depending on what<br />
source of related object information is specified for the ‘From’ environment.<br />
Adding related objects to a request insures that an object is not promoted that would<br />
cause a level check in this environment.<br />
This is an optional function typically performed by a project leader or programmer<br />
when adding entities to the design request, either at initial creation or when changing<br />
the design request at a later time.<br />
If you are using <strong>SDM</strong>-Implementer this option can be specified only for an object of<br />
type *FILE. Programs are also available when using PathFinder. To determine the<br />
source of the related object information, set the required flag in the <strong>SDM</strong>-<br />
Implementer Work with Environments option.<br />
