Single- and multi-select object reference attributes

You use object reference attributes to associate marketing objects with projects or other marketing objects. An object reference attribute creates a field with a selector attached. Users can search in the selector for a particular marketing object and then add it to the project or marketing object they are creating or editing.

You cannot add these attributes to read-only grids. To add marketing object references to read-only grids, use the Single List Object Reference attribute.

These attribute types are not available for campaign or cell attributes.

To specify a Single-select object reference attribute, you must enter the following information specific to this attribute type:

Field	Description
Marketing Object Type	The marketing object type of the items you want on the list that is displayed to the user.
Template ID	The ID of a specific template for the specified marketing object type. If you select the Auto Create check box below, this template is used to create the object. Otherwise, only marketing objects created using the specified template are displayed to users.
On Click go to	Select the destination screen when you click on the object link on a from: Summary Tab : opens the summary page of the marketing object Analysis Tab : opens the analysis page. This field is available only for grid attributes.
Modifies	Use this option when the object that contains this form is intended to change or update the contents of a marketing object (for example, a Change Order or Work Request project). This field is available only for form attributes.
References	Use this option to indicate that the marketing object is only referenced, not modified. This field is available only for form attributes.
Auto Create	Use this option to create an “empty” marketing object whenever users create an object by using a template that contains a form with this attribute. Note the following; This checkbox is not available for multi-select object reference attributes. This checkbox has no effect if the form is added to a marketing object, as marketing objects cannot automatically create other marketing objects. This field is available only for form attributes.

Multi-select object reference attributes are similar to single-select object reference attributes, except the field can contain multiple entries and cannot be auto-created.
