Hey Folks…
Is there a way that I can insert new objects into an existing class? We inserted a table into the Universe but did not include all columns. Now the user wants to access those columns. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks…

Yes.
With the table de-selected (first make sure your column(s) are in sight) left-mouse button click on the column and drag-n-drop it into the class you want it. Repeat for each column. The trick is to have the table de-selected before you can choose a particular column.

Or, right click on the class name and choose “Insert Object”. Then, in the “Edit Properties of Object(n)”, you can define name, properties, etc., and then select appropriate table and column by clicking on the >> next to the Select area of the box (brings up “Edit Select Statement of Object(n)”).

There are several ways. Either highlight the class and select INSERT, OBJECT (then define the ‘select’ clause of the object manually), or you can even drag individual fields over to the class from the structure. Check out the BO documentation for more info.
