Setting the Default Included Object Features

When you have set the root class, the Relational View Wizard then enables you to set the default features (properties and methods) of the Object class that are to be included in your relational view. (You can refine your object features selection later in the Relational View Wizard process.)

The default Object class features that you set are inherited by each class in the relational view.

An example of the fifth sheet of the Relational View Wizard is shown in the following image.

To set the default Object class features for classes included in your relational view

  1. In the Object Features Excluded from View list box at the right of the Relational View Wizard, select the object feature you want to include in your relational view and then click the < button to move the selected feature to the Object Features Included in View list box at the left of the dialog. Alternatively, you can:

    • Double-click an object feature in the Object Features Excluded from View list box to include it in your view.

    • Move all object features for inclusion by clicking the << button.

  2. Repeat step 1 for all object features that you want to include in your relational view.

  3. Click the Next > button when you have selected all the object features that are to be included in your view. Alternatively, click the < Back button to redisplay the previous dialog, or the Cancel button to abandon your selections.

When you click the Next > button, the Relational View Wizard then enables you to set the visibility of protected features.
