How Aggregates Help Minimize Object Selection

When an object type is defined as an aggregate object type for a particular Version Control function, that function considers objects related to the aggregate object when evaluating it. One advantage of being able to select aggregate objects is that you do not have to select all the low-level components of the objects of interest to compare objects, migrate objects, or adopt objects. For example, you do not select literals, fields, special fields, and edit patterns when you want to compare, migrate, or adopt a screen occurrence. These objects are the components of the aggregate object type called screen, and therefore are comprehended automatically when you perform a Version Control function on a screen object occurrence.
