Structure of the Object Type Customizer

When creating a new Object Type, naturally many fields are empty and must be defined. When editing an existing Object Type, the definition will already exist and can be viewed or altered. It should be noted that there is no difference in the structure or functionality.

The Object Type Customizer consists of the following tabs:

  • Object Type
