System Definition

Important You can access the System Definition utility only from a Windows client.

The System Definition section of the System Navigator is an administrative tool that enables you to view and modify system tables and their components:

Fields
Keys
Links
Forms
Records

You can use the System Definition section if you have the Admin plug-in installed and the SysAdmin capability word enabled in your user profile. If you have SysAdmin rights, but the Admin plug-in is not installed, you can view the System Definition section but you cannot change it.

Administrators can do the following:

View, add, change, or delete forms, links, records, triggers, and Data Policy records.
Use the System Definition utility to add help or create an alias for any field.
View, add, change, or delete database dictionary definitions.
View, add, change, or delete SQL mappings to a back-end RDBMS.
Open, reset, regenerate, and copy database dictionary definitions.
Add, change, copy, and delete keys and fields.
Count the number of records in logical tables

Each time you right-click a node in the System Definition section, the System Navigator displays a Context menu of available actions.
