  1. Open a new record from the Object Packages service.
  2. Enter a Name and Description for the object package in the fields provided.
  3. Enter the name of the Object Context with which this package should be associated.
  4. Enter the Download Path for all objects within this package.
    • This path identifies the directory for the objects within the package to use as a default location when files are obtained from the object repository. Any directory path may be entered by clicking on the folder icon and navigating to the desired directory. Certain keyword locations have been configured in Aptify to be used instead of entering an entire directory path. These keyword locations include:
      • <DefaultPath>: This is the default download path for repository objects. For Aptify 56.50, this defaults to C:\Program Files\Aptify 5Aptify 6.50.
      • <ObjectContextPath>: The path indicated in the Download Path field of the specified context object is used as the download location for all objects included in this package.
      • <WindowsPath>: This indicates that files will be downloaded to the computer's Windows directory. This option is not currently supported.
      • <WindowsSystemPath>: This indicates that files will be downloaded to the computer's Windows system directory. This option is not currently supported.
      • <AptifyExplorerPath>: This indicates the location where the Aptify client was installed on the computer. This option is not currently supported.
      • <WindowsTempPath>: This path indicates that files will be downloaded to the computer's temp directory. This option is not currently supported.
      • <UserProfilePath>: This path is the current user's profile directory. This option is not currently supported.
        Object Packages Record
  5. Select the Always Check For Object Updates option if you want the system to download an object each time it is requested during a single session.
    • When this option is cleared, the information for objects in this package is retrieved only once during a user session and the information is used throughout the session. When it is selected, each time the Object is requested, the Object's information is retrieved from the database.
    • You only need to enable this option if you expect that the objects in this package will change during a user's session. Otherwise, you should leave it cleared.  
  6. Save the Object Packages record.
