Save As Dynamic Object dialog

The Save As Dynamic Object dialog enables you to save the following static objects as dynamic objects: Static SmartDataViewers (StaticSDV), Static SmartDataBrowsers (StaticSDB), and Static SmartDataObjects (SDO).

Note: If you have a StaticDataViewer (SDV) that contains a SmartDataField (SDF) and you want to save the SDV as a dynamic object, you must first register the SDF in the ICFDB Repository. If you register the SDF before you save the static viewer as a dynamic viewer, the SDF is referenced properly by the new dynamic viewer. However, if the SDF is not registered before you try to migrate the viewer from static to dynamic, you get an error message requesting that you register the SDF and the dynamic version of the viewer is not created.

Access the Save As Dynamic Object dialog by selecting File > Save Static Object As Dynamic.

This dialog includes the following options:

Dynamic Object Type	Displays the object type of the static object you have selected. This is a read-only field.
