Creating business objects

Before you begin

Once a module exists, you can create business objects in the module. At a high level, these are the steps for creating a business object.

Procedure

  1. Specify basic information about the business object, including its name and description.
    After this step, the business object exists. Its name and basic properties are established, but IBM® Maximo® Real Estate and Facilities does not yet know what fields the records created from the business object will contain.
  2. Specify associations between the business object and other business objects.
  3. Specify the business object's fields.
  4. Specify how records created from the business object will be uniquely identified.
  5. Publish the business object.
