Chapter 6. Foundation Objects > Basic Object Anatomy
Basic Object Anatomy
Foundation objects are just generic integration actions. Although they do have some specific configuration protocol in mind, they are not tied to any specific target system. Each object has a basic anatomy, which consists of a series of tabs that contain fields. This is why OIS is often referred to as having forms-based configuration capability. In addition to making the product easy to use, the approach offers a clear and consistent interface for policy authoring. As these forms are available for each object, you can choose whether to simply fill in the fields, or to take the next step and include code or script within the objects.
Note: Code or Script Objects
Although each object has a forms-based configuration utilizing tabs and fields, some of the objects enable you to extend OIS with “code or script” as the configuration within these fields. Likewise, some of the objects allow you to call a preconfigured file or program containing code or script. These objects are described in the “Extensibility Objects” section of this chapter.
