# ObjectSelectorType (Complex Type)

### Namespace: http://midpoint.evolveum.com/xml/ns/public/common/common-3

Selects some objects from all the objects in midPoint. Note that although we usually talk about "real" prism objects here, this selector can be also applied to sub-object structures, like case work items, and so on. See the "parent" item.

Item Summary
Name | Type | Multiplicity | Description
--- | --- | --- | ---
name | property string | [0,1] | Name of the selector (for troubleshooting).
description | property string | [0,1] |
documentation | property string | [0,1] | Technical documentation for a particular object or construct.
parent | container ObjectParentSelectorType | [0,1] | Requirements on the parent (owning) object + the position (path) of this object within the parent one.
type | property QName | [0,1] | Type of the object to select.
subtype | property string | [0,1] | Subtype of the object to select.
archetypeRef | reference ObjectReferenceType | [0,-1] | Archetype of the object to select.
orgRef | reference ObjectReferenceType | [0,1] | Top node of an organizational hierarchy.
filter | property SearchFilterType | [0,1] | Filter that an object must match to be considered selected by this statement.

    Technical documentation for a particular object or construct.

    The purpose of this element is to document system configuration and behavior. The documentation will not be presented to end users. In fact, it will probably not be presented at all in midPoint user interface. This documentation element is supposed to be a part of the technical documentation of midPoint deployment. The tools than generate deployment configuration will look for these elements and combine them to compiled documentation document.

    AsciiDoc formatting is assumed for this element. Any leading or trailing whitespace is skipped. Indentation equivalent to he indentation of the first non-blank line of text is also skipped.

  - #### orgRef

    Flags: RAM

    Multiplicity: [0,1]

    Display order:

    Top node of an organizational hierarchy. All the subnodes (transitively, unlimited depth, excluding the top node) are considered selected.

  - #### filter

    Flags: RAM,runtime

    Multiplicity: [0,1]

    Display order:

    Filter that an object must match to be considered selected by this statement. This filter MUST NOT contain organization unit clauses. It may only contain property clauses, logical operations and so on.
