An object type is a so called compound type. It is a compound structure of attributes (fields). Examples of objectsare: candidate, company, contactperson, etc.
To assign an object value to the variable o:
<cx:let name="o" value="$activity.toEmployee">
... $o contains an employee object ...
</cx:let>
The attributes of an Object provide a way to access information to corresponding fields in the Carerix database.
You reference attributes by means of so called key-paths, like for instance in:
<cx:write value="$activity.toEmployee.name"/>
The full key-path here is activity.toEmployee.name.
While the attribute toEmployee references a candidate objectin the database, the name attribute contains the name of the particular candidate.
