About Custom Specialized Object Types

As an administrator, you can create custom specialized object types. Users may use these types to create objects in an app or in a spreadsheet to upload object data to the system.

  • When you create custom specialized types for objects that users import from a spreadsheet, you must derive reference types from VPMReference or derive relationship types from VPMInstance.

  • To enable users to update an attribute, you must set the attribute property IPML.CustoUserAccess to Read-Write. If this property either does not exist or you do not specify it as read/write, the system ignores the attribute when a user imports the spreadsheet.

For more information, see Enterprise IP Schema Specialization User's Guide: Creating, Editing, and Deleting Types.
