Link types
Links between Oracle Forms objects use the following types:
| Link Type | When is this type of link created? |
| Use (U) | This type is generically used to describe an interaction between two objects. For example:
|
| Call (C) | A link of this type is created from a (popup) menu item invoking a menu to the cascading (popup) menu. For example:
|
| Inherit (I) | A link of this type is created from an object created by subclassing to the source object. It is also created between an object and its property class and between a subclassed Module and its reference modules. |
| Match (X) | This type of link indicates a link you have created using a Reference Pattern. |
| Rely On | This type of link is created between a data block and the server objects used to construct it. |
| Access | This type of link is created when there is a reference in the code to a data block item through host variable syntax (:block.item or :item). |
| Monitor | This type of link is created between a data block relation and the data block. |
Links between Oracle Reports objects use the following types:
| Link Type | When is this type of link created? |
| Rely On |
