Displaying a Parent of a Primary Object in a Child Tab

When a primary object has a parent, you can display the parent base object attributes in a child tab. To configure the display, you must edit the IDD configuration XML file. You can configure multiple child tabs, one for each parent base object that you want to display.

In the MDM Hub, the relationship between the base objects must be a 1:1 or 1:many relationship type. For example, you create base objects C_ADDRESS and C_PARTY and create a relationship between them.

In the IDD Configuration Manager, create a subject area for the primary object.

For example, you create a subject area for C_ADDRESS.

Save the configuration.

Open the IDD configuration XML file.

After the

primaryObject

element, add the

poParent

element and define the fields that you want to display.

For example, the following code sample shows how to configure the

poParent

element to show three fields from C_PARTY in the child tab.

<subjectArea displayName="Address" name="Address" showXREF="false"> 
	<primaryObject> 
  ...
	</primaryObject> 
	<poParent name="Party" displayName="Party" uid="C_PARTY" mpcUid="C_MT_PARTY_ADDRESS">
  <layout columnsNum="3">
		 <column columnUid="C_PARTY|FIRST_NAME" editStyle="FIELD" horizontalStyle="MEDIUM"/>
		 <column columnUid="C_PARTY|LAST_NAME" editStyle="FIELD" horizontalStyle="MEDIUM"/>
   <column columnUid="C_PARTY|PARTY_TYPE" editStyle="FIELD" horizontalStyle="MEDIUM"/>
  </layout>
 </poParent>
	<search displayPackageUid="PKG_ADDRESS"/> 
	<dataSecurity/> 
</subjectArea> 
</subjectAreaGroup>
