Finding Other Objects
Often when you go the SOAP Schema Browser, you are looking for details about a record. However, you may also want to find details of sublists, search objects, enumerations, and data types such as RecordRef and BaseRef. This topic explains how to find these other objects in the SOAP Schema Browser.
Using the Namespace Dropdown List
If you know the namespace that the object belongs to, you can navigate to it using the namespace dropdown list, which is located below the A-Z index.
To find an object using the namespace dropdown list:
-
Use the dropdown list to select the appropriate namespace.
The pane at the left updates to include a tabbed list of all objects in this namespace, with the Record subtab selected. The center panel updates to include details about the first record in the list.
-
If appropriate, change the view by doing one of the following:
-
To find a search object, click the Search subtab.
-
To find sublists, their child elements, and certain other objects, click the Other subtab.
-
To find an enumeration, click the Enum tab.
The buttons at the left update according to the choice you made in Step 2.
-
-
In the list at the left, locate the appropriate object, and click it.
Using Other Controls
In some cases, you may be interested in an object directly related to the record you are currently viewing in the SOAP Schema Browser. In these cases, you may be able to navigate to that object in a more direct way. For example:
-
If you are interested in a search, scroll to the bottom of the page summarizing the record. All search objects directly related to the record are listed here. You can click the name of any search to navigate to a reference page summarizing that search object.
-
Many values listed in the Type column of the Fields table are links that take you directly to another reference page in the SOAP Schema Browser. That is, the Type column includes sublists, enumerations, and other object types, such as BaseRef and RecordRef. You can click any of these to view the reference page for that object.
-
If you want to browse objects in the same namespace as the record you are viewing, click the URL below the name of the record. The page automatically updates to include, in the pane at the left, a tabbed list of all objects in the namespace. See also Navigating to a Different Object.
