Class Information

This page shows information about the selected class and allows you to add attributes. Most of the information displayed on this page was specified when the class was created. Some of the optional attributes might have been added later.

During class creation, if the class was specified to inherit attributes from another class, the inherited attributes are classified as they are in the parent class. For instance, if Object Class is a mandatory attribute for the parent class, it displays on this page as a mandatory attribute for the selected class.

To view schema class information, select a class from the Available Classes drop-down menu. The following information displays:

Class Flags

• Effective
  The effective class is used to create objects, as opposed to a non-effective class, which is simply a placeholder for a group of attributes.
  
• Non-Removable
  Objects of this class cannot be removed by administration utilities. They must be removed by the system.

You can also add a new attribute or view a superclass.
