Object Lists

In addition to saving entire libraries or the changed objects in a library, Robot Save gives you the option of saving specific objects or objects across several libraries, documents, or files in the Integrated File System (IFS). By creating an object list, you can save only what you need.

An object list consists of a set of criteria that define what should appear in the list and the names of the objects that meet the selection criteria. You use Robot Corral, our object selection manager, to collect the objects into a list and then work with the objects as if they are a single entity.

After you’ve created your object lists using Robot Corral, you can save them with Robot Save. Robot Save has a backup class type specifically for object lists. When you define your backup sets, you specify the object list that should be backed up. Robot Save creates an archive record for the objects in the list. You can view this information using the Object Archive.

You restore the objects saved by an object list using the object archive panels. See the Object Archive section for complete information.

You should be familiar with object lists, and how to create them, before using Robot Save. See the Robot Corral User Guide for complete information on creating object lists.
