6.1 Graphical User Interface
The inherit object allows you to copy most of the attributes from the inherit object to the object
being created. If you wish to specify an inherit object, use the combo box to select the existing
inherit object. This must be the same type of object, except in the case of restores, in which case
you can inherit from either a restore or a save object.
After clicking create, the new object attribute and operations screens appear, which you can then
modify to your liking. In the task view, this screen modifies all the newly created objects.

6.1.6 Showing and Modifying Objects
For objects that already exist, you can use the Domain View, Object View or Task View to show
and optionally modify objects, or to perform operations on them.
To view an object, use one of the following methods:
• From the Domain or Object Views, from the left screen, expand a class name, and click on
an object name.
• From the Domain or Object View, click on a class name from the left to bring up the class
object icons on the right screen, then double click on an object icon.
• From the Task View, right click on the Show task, and a popup menu appears, then click on
an appropriate class and object.
When an object is selected, its attributes and operations are displayed in a two-dimensional tab
screen as follows:
• Vertical tabs on the right side of the screen contain the Show and any operations associated
with the object. Many objects just have a Show tab, but some (for example, volumes) have a
whole list of operational tabs such as load, unload and so on. You can switch between the
tabs by simply clicking on them.
• For the Show screen, there are also horizontal tabs that display related attributes about the
object. Many simple objects have only a General tab that shows all attributes. Other
attributes have General and Advanced tabs, if there is not enough room on one tab. Other
tabs include:
