Objectives
• Identify which object types are supported• Describe how object types are
represented within Form Builder• Create a block based on an object table• Create a block based on a relation table
with an object or an REF column• Populate a REF column with an LOV

Using REF Lookup Value
Select REF attribute columns: This causes the columns to appear as data items at run-time.Select the REF item itself: • This causes the item to be placed on a Null canvas.• The item does not appear at run time.• The item is available for coding purposes.
