Dataobjects

Dataobjects are a type of workspace object that provide a storage space for preference settings and other stored values for users. ENOVIA products use them to cache values for form fields, as well as to add personalized pages to channels in PowerViews. Refer to Channels in the MQL Guide for more information. Settings stored in dataobjects are not limited in length.

Before you begin: Dataobjects can be created in MQL only.
  • To create a new dataobject, use the Add dataobject command: 

    add dataobject NAME [user USER_NAME] [ADD_ITEM {ADD_ITEM}];

    NAME is the name you assign to the dataobject.

    USER_NAME can be included with the user keyword if you are a business administrator with person access defining a dataobject for another user. If not specified, the dataobject is part of the current user's workspace.

    ADD_ITEM further defines the dataobject.

    Note: The complete syntax and clauses for working with dataobjects are discussed in the programming reference section of the MQL Guide.
