Generating Required Objects

If an object is changed that is called by, or used in, another object, then when generating this object, LION Developer automatically recognizes which objects need generation and lists these in the 'Objects to Generate' dialog box.
 

For example:

• if an index is changed and generated, all the objects that use the index will also be generated, namely the table name that the index is on, and any forms, reports or logics that use the index.
• if an insertable routine is changed and generated, all the objects that use the insertable routine will also be generated, namely forms, reports and other logics that use the insertable routine.

Selecting a Priority gives the opportunity to manipulate the sequence in which awaiting generation requests are handled. When there are only requests waiting with priority normal(which is the default) and a new generation request with priority high is requested it will be the first in line. If there are already requests with priority high and requests with priority normal it will be the last in line with priority high but above the requests with priority Normal.
