Object Design Time
Use
Object design time provides a set of tools for editing the definitions of the objects that build processes in Guided Procedures (GP).
To access the design time of an object, you must select the relevant object in the gallery, and choose Open.
In the object design time you can:
· Display an overview or a detailed view of the object definition
· Edit different aspects of the definition
Prerequisites
To be able to see and use the design time tools, you must hold one of the following GP portal roles:
· GP Basic User
