Edit Objects
When you start out to create an object, you might not be able to provide all the information, such as stakeholders, relationships, and connections, upfront. After you create an object, you might have to perform some actions at a different point in time, such as connecting the object to many other objects and providing detailed descriptions of the object relationships. You can edit an object to make such changes so that you enrich the object with more information for better clarity and accuracy.
The Edit options for an object vary based on the facet. You need to have Edit permissions to edit objects. You can perform different actions such as adding connections, configuring relationships, adding data quality rules, assigning stakeholders, creating change requests, and defining workflows.
If an object belongs to a segment, you can view the segment when you edit an object. You cannot change the segment when you edit the object. If you want to change the segment for an object, you must delete the object and create the object again in another segment.
If the Axon Admin or SuperAdmin has defined a workflow for the object that you want to edit, the object moves through the workflow lifecycle. As the object moves through the phases defined in the workflow lifecycle, Axon creates change requests for the workflow stakeholders. At each stage of the workflow, the stakeholders must make a decision on the object before the object moves to the next phase defined in the workflow. For more information on workflows for editing Axon objects, see
Workflows Overview.
Editing an Object
You can edit the properties of the objects in Axon.
1. Log in to Axon.
2. Click a facet to edit an object.
3. Click the object that you want to edit.
The Summary tab appears where you can edit the basic properties of the object.
4. Click Edit.
5. In the object, click the tabs that you want to edit. Edit the properties that you want to change for the object from each tab.
The tabs differ based on the facet type.
6. To save and finish the changes, click Save and Close.
If the Axon Admin or SuperAdmin has defined a workflow for the object, click Save & Submit. Axon starts a workflow for the object, creates a change request, and notifies the stakeholders defined in the workflow.
