Working with Objects and Folders

Folders are containers for objects.

Use this process to edit an object:

1. Identify the location of an object or folder in the Library Browser.
2. Open the object.
3. Check out the object to a working version you can edit.
4. Edit the object.
5. Save the changes.
6. Check in the object (in this step you also decide whether to apply the changes to the same or a new version of the object).

When you only want to inspect an object, either click Properties or open it. You can then view its properties in detail and decide whether to edit it.

Objects open in an editor or designer that is based on the object type. For example, a process opens in the Process Designer and a dataset object opens in a Dataset dialog. Each editor has specific tabs, palettes, and toolbar buttons.

Note: This section includes only basic information about opening and editing objects and managing versions. Other sections describe in greater detail how to edit various types of objects.
