Select Objects (Object Explorer)

  • Article

Use the Select Objects dialog box to add an object to a list in another dialog box. The dialog box title and the options available in the dialog box depend upon how it was opened. Only available options appear; for instance, only logins are available when you are selecting an owner for a new object.
