Standard objects

Standard objects provide a consistent, spreadsheet-like experience for maintaining master data and reference lists (for example: suppliers, facilities, categories, business registers).

This page describes what users can do on a Standard object page and how the UI behaves.

Standard objects are defined by object metadata (display name, fields, field descriptions, etc.).

When to use a Standard object

Use Standard objects for:

• Master/reference data that needs controlled entry

• Lists that must be searchable and easy to maintain

• Records that may need supporting documentation (attachments)

Standard object page layout

When a user opens a Standard object from the Standard menu group, Biz-App shows:

• Page title: the object display name

• Record list: a table of existing records

• Primary action: Add New Entry

View and find records

The record list is designed for fast retrieval and consistent navigation across teams.

Search

Users can search within the object’s records to quickly locate entries.

Filters

Users can narrow the list to a subset of records (for example: active/inactive, category, region).

Add a new entry

Selecting Add New Entry opens a side panel with a form generated from the object’s field metadata.

Field guidance (descriptions/help text)

If a field has a description, Biz-App shows it alongside the input control to reduce errors at the point of entry.

Examples of effective field descriptions:

• “Use the legal name as shown on invoice.”

• “Enter values in the selected reporting currency.”

Attachments (when enabled)

If the object supports attachments, users can add supporting files while creating the record.

Attachment behavior:

• Files are uploaded first, then referenced by the saved record (to avoid broken references)

• Uploaded files remain accessible from the record list after the record is saved
