To access an admin object, simply select the name of the object you want to access. Select the User admin object in the User section of the menu to see the options available for managing user records. Go ahead and select the User admin object. You're not going to break anything. Okay, not a problem. I'll go ahead and select it. In most instances an admin object list page will be divided into two sections: the admin menu navigation pane list on the left and the data object list view on the right. It may also include one or more actions buttons which allows you to perform various actions such as create a new instance of the selected admin object. The admin menu navigation pane is just that--a collapsed list of all of the sections and available admin objects of the admin menu. For instance, to see the admin objects available in the Supplier section, select the Supplier heading to expand the menu. Select the Supplier heading in the list menu. It will expand the list of Admin Objects available in the Supplier section. That's okay, I can take care of it. The items listed under each heading are linked to the respective admin objects. This allows you to navigate to any of the other admin objects without having to return to the admin menu. Most admin objects default to a list view, which lists the available data objects in the table format in the data object list view section. Distinguishing attributes of each item are listed in columns. At least one of the columns in the list displays the attributes as a selectable link, which allows you to examine details of that specific data object. In this example, to view the data record for Maria Brown, select her name. Select Maria Brown to see her data. It's okay, she's not actually a real person, so she won't mind. Okay let's just go ahead and see what Maria Brown's user record looks like. A data records details page is also split into two sections. The right hand section of the record details page presents all of the information that makes the record functional and valid to SAP Fieldglass. In this case, it shows the details of Maria Brown's user profile, including such information as her username, user role, access status, and contact information. To the left, the association tree can be used to quickly reference what other data objects this admin object is associated with, and, in some cases, create associations directly from the admin object. The numbers within each tile indicate the number of data objects that the admin object is associated to. In this example, you can see that Maria Brown is associated with two business units, two cost centers, and three sites, among others. To review, add, or delete associations with the selected record, you would select the relevant tiles in this column. So, to see what sites Maria is associated to, select the Sites tile. If you want to check out what Sites Maria is associated to, select the Sites tile. Alrighty, I'll go ahead and select the tile for you. You can see here that Maria is associated with three sites, Chicago, San Francisco, and a master site that defines WorkingNet as a whole. You can associate additional sites to Maria by selecting the Add button. Or you can continue to review other associations by selecting tiles in the association tree. So, if you want to, say, see what cost centers Maria is associated with, select the Cost Center tile in the association tree. Go ahead and select the Cost Center tile to see the associations. I promise you won't get lost. Ok not a problem, I'll select the Cost Center tile. Because you're still viewing associations within this particular admin object, the navigation options remain. However, if you were to select one of the codes listed here, such as AC101, you would be taken out of Maria Brown's admin object and into the AC101 admin object, so the navigation would then be specific to AC101. But let's get back to Maria's cost center associations. Most pages include a breadcrumb trail so you can navigate back to a page's parent location or anywhere in the admin menu hierarchy of the selected page. From here you still have the option of returning to Maria's details by selecting either the User link in the breadcrumb trail or the Details tile in the association tree. I know it seems like a lot, but there are still really only two choices, User link or Details tile. They both go to the same place. Let's try the Breadcrumb Trail. You can see that there are many navigation options for a single data record and that much of that data, such as associations to other data objects, can be reviewed, added, amended, or deleted. When you finish with Maria Brown's record, select the User List link in the breadcrumb trail to return to the user list page. Or, if you want to completely return to the admin menu, select the Admin Configuration link in the breadcrumb trail, or the admin menu gear icon in the menu bar. I know, I know, it's a lot of choices,  it depends entirely on what you want to do. Use the User Link to go to the list page or admin configuration link or admin gear icon to go to the admin menu. Alright, let's look at the list page again. From the user list page you could, of course, choose to review another user record, or you can exit out completely and return to the admin menu by selecting the Admin Configuration link in the breadcrumb trail or the admin menu gear icon in the menu bar. Again it's just two ways of getting to the same place, Admin Configuration link or admin gear icon. Right, let's try the Admin Configuration link then. Not all admin objects follow the configuration you just experienced. Some will take you directly to the configuration pages or whatever type of page is required to view or configure the object data. In those cases you will have a slightly different way of getting back to the admin menu. Those instances will be covered individually as you encounter them in the SAP Fieldglass learning journey, but what you just saw is typical of most admin objects, so you can be assured that you can now navigate the SAP Fieldglass admin menu.
