  1. In the Document Designer—Object Definition Editor window, select Object definitions in the Tasks window and either right-click and select Add object... , or select Object definitions.
  2. Click the Add object icon. The Add new object - step 1 dialog box is displayed.
  3. Enter a name for the object in the Object name field. The object name can have up to 60 characters.
  4. Enter the ID as specified in the host file. The value is padded with leading zeros if you do not enter the number of digits that were specified in the Modify object definition collection dialog box.
  5. Select the Type of object from the drop-down list.

    • Static is read from the .odf file once and stays the same throughout the entire host record. Static objects will only have one value per statement set and is usually header information. If there are multiple values for one record on a statement, all records after the initial value will be ignored. For example, bank name, bank address, bank phone number, etc.

    • Sticky is read from the .odf file and stays the same until the next sticky field is read, replacing the data and starting a new group of repeating and linked records. Multiple sticky records can exist within a statement, but only of a single type. A document cannot contain more than one type of sticky record. Sticky records can be used to break up statements. For example, account number could be used.

    • Repeating data types are records that appear multiple times and define a set of data, such as a list of transactions. Any given set of repeating records are grouped with the last sticky record read, and when the next sticky record is read, the previous sets of repeating records are replaced with new sets of repeating records.

    • Linked data is static within the domain of the current sticky record. This data type behaves the same as a sticky record but does not indicate the beginning of a new section. An example could be an account type, such savings, checking, investment or loan, within an account number.

    Note:

    This information is for the .odf file only; the specific names and formatting is performed when designing the statement. Use object and field names that clearly describe the data.
