Understanding Shortcut Properties

Understanding Shortcut Properties

When you create a shortcut to a repository object, the shortcut inherits the attributes of the object. The shortcut inherits the following properties that cannot be edited in the shortcut object:
  • Object business name and owner name
  • Port attributes, including datatype, precision, scale, default value, and port description
  • Object properties
The shortcut also inherits a name and description which you can edit in the shortcut.
