The configuration of your objects can be quite complex. Providing detailed descriptions of these interrelations is essential for optimizing maintenance. As a developer and object designer you create Documentation (DOCU) objects to provide information on the objects.

The Documentation object and the Documentation pages are two different things. In the Documentation object you provide cross-object information that pertains to the client you are logged into. The Documentation pages, on the other hand, provide details on a specific object.

A Documentation object definition is made up of the following pages:

Object class: Passive object

Object type/Short form: DOCU
