<h3 id="rzahyaddobj">Add an object class</h3>
<p><span class="bold">Web administration</span></p>
<p>If you have not done so already, expand <span class="bold">Schema
management</span> in the navigation area, then click <span class="bold">Manage object classes</span>. To create a new object class:</p>
<ol type="1">
<li>Click <span class="bold">Add</span>.
<a name="wq309"></a>
<div class="notetitle" id="wq309">Note:</div>
<div class="notebody">You can also access this panel by expanding <span class="bold">Schema management</span> in the navigation area, then click <span class="bold">Add an object class</span>.</div></li>
<li>At the <span class="bold">General properties</span> tab:
<ul>
<li>Enter the <span class="bold">Object class name</span>. This is a required
field, and is descriptive of the function of the object class. For example, <span class="bold">tempEmployee</span> for an object class used to track
temporary employees.</li>
<li>Enter a <span class="bold">Description</span> of the object
class, for example, <span class="bold">The object class used for temporary
employees</span>.</li>
<li>Enter the <span class="bold">OID</span> for the object class. This is a required
field. See <a href="rzahyoid.htm#rzahyoid">Object identifier (OID)</a>. If you do not have an OID, you can use
the <span class="bold">Object class name</span> appended with <span class="bold">-oid</span>. For example, if the object class name is <span class="bold">tempEmployee</span>, then the OID is <span class="bold">tempEmployee-oid</span>. You can change the value of this field.</li>
<li>Select a <span class="bold">Superior object class</span> from
the drop-down list. This determines the object class from which other attributes
are inherited. Typically the <span class="bold">Superior object class</span> is <span class="bold">top</span>, however, it can be another object
class. For example, a superior object class for <span class="bold">tempEmployee</span> might be <span class="bold">ePerson</span>.</li>
<li>Select an <span class="bold">Object class type</span>. See <a href="rzahyobjectclass.htm#rzahyobjectclass">Object classes</a> for additional information about object class types.</li>
<li>Click the Attributes tab to specify the required and the optional
attributes for the object class and view the inherited attributes, or click <span class="bold">OK</span> to add the new object class or click <span class="bold">Cancel</span> to return to <span class="bold">Manage object classes</span> without making any changes.</li></ul></li>
<li>At the <span class="bold">Attributes</span> tab:
<ul>
<li>Select an attribute from the alphabetical list of <span class="bold">Available attributes</span> and click <span class="bold">Add to required</span> to make the attribute required or click <span class="bold">Add to optional</span> to make the attribute optional for the object class.
The attribute is displayed in the appropriate list of selected attributes.</li>
<li>Repeat this process for all the attributes you want to select.</li>
<li>You can move an attribute from one list to another or delete
the attribute from the selected lists by selecting it and clicking the appropriate <span class="bold">Move to</span> or <span class="bold">Delete</span> button.</li>
<li>You can view the lists of required and optional inherited attributes.
Inherited attributes are based on the <span class="bold">Superior
object class</span> selected on the <span class="bold">General</span> tab.
You cannot change the inherited attributes. However, if you change the <span class="bold">Superior object class</span> on the <span class="bold">General</span> tab, a different set of inherited attributes is displayed.</li></ul></li>
<li>Click <span class="bold">OK</span> to add the new object
class or click <span class="bold">Cancel</span> to return to <span class="bold">Manage object classes</span> without making any changes.</li></ol>

any attributes, you can add attributes by editing the new object class.</div>
