Data transfer options

Although similar in purpose, there are distinct differences between the two configuration options that you can use to transfer data from a field in one application to a field in another. These data transfer options are based on either linked objects or on crossover domains.

Linked objects can pass data from a source application to a target application using database relationships. In the destination application, the data value can be read, or read/write, depending on how you configure the input field. If you configure the destination input field to be read/write, the application framework automatically updates the source application and parent object if you update a displayed value.

Crossover domains, pass data from one application to a different application using domains. A copy of the data value from a source application is passed to a destination application using the crossover domain as a trigger mechanism. You cannot edit the data value in the destination application and the copied data value is static.

Database relationships that link objects and crossover domains enable the export of information from a source object to a destination object using WHERE clauses to filter for list and validation values. You can use a database relationship or a crossover domain to accomplish the following objectives:
