Object shopping

📄️ About object shopping

Object shopping is the facility offered in the Teamwork, Object Shopping menu of USoft Definer. This facility enables you as a developer, without any coding, to compose a "shopping basket" or Export Definition of related objects (such as Domains, Tables, Roles, Components...). You can now export this collection of objects and import it in a different repository.
