I am trying to create a User Object within a report and nothing happens?? Any ideas what is wrong?
Within Query Panel I select the User Object icon and nothing happens.
Within Tools/Universes I select User Object button and nothing happens.

Check in Supervisor to see if you have permission to use User Objects.

Find the .udo file that corresponds to your universe. Delete it and let BO recreate it for you.

Just on a side note:
I usually would stay away from UDO’s since they are user specific (do not work for other users on other PC’s, do not work on BCA etc.).
Only reason I think a user should use UDO’s is to test something and then request for the universe designer to incorporate that UDO in the universe.

Yes thanks, I read that in the doc on it but couldn’t figure out why couldn’t access it nevertheless.

Andreas…
I have a followup question on the other issue I was having with using sum/group by instead of multi- dp’s “Grouping by different time periods within one report”. If you have time do you think you can look at it? I really appreciate your help.
I need to add 3 columns of percentages work/avail hours to the report.

User Defined Objects in the archives:
I have a user that is trying to create a user defined object. She clicks on the button (it is not grayed out) the cursor changes briefly, but then nothing else happens. It's also doing this for me.
However, if we go to a different universe, when we select user defined objects, we get the screen to create one. That would lead me to believe that it's something that has been turned off in the first universe, but I can't find it anywhere.
If anyone can send me in the right direction, I would real…
Has anyone ever experienced the following problem? I have a user that cannot create a user object when using one particular universe. But he can create a user object on other universes. When I log in I can create a user object on that particular universe, but he cannot. When he clicks on the user object he does not get the screen to create the object.
Any ideas?

Need Assistance. We are on 5.i. I am having difficulty creating User Objects in Business Objects on one universe. On some universes, I get the drop down box with the 'add' button. However, when I click on the User Objects button for our production universe (the one I need, of course!), nothing happens. I don't see any permissions in Supervisor that have to do with Creating User Objects, and my designer says she doesn't see any settings in the universe concerning this. So far, the Business Object…
Not sure why this isn’t in the FAQ yet we’ll have to fix that.
