Note Object Template is deprecated in Cordys BOP 4.1. Use WS-AppServer Custom class instead. For more details about the deprecated feature, see the Deprecated Features section in Cordys BOP 4.1 Release Notes. |
Before you begin this task:
You must have created a workspace and must have the role of Developer.
Process Platform offers different ways in which you can create documents. Newly created documents are stored in the workspace. You can choose either to place the documents directly under the project or to group them in folders in a folder structure.
This topic helps you to get started with document creation. However, it does not contain detailed end-to-end information pertaining to the creation of any specific document type, because each document has its own requirements. To know the details, refer to the procedure pertaining to that specific document.
Note:
While creating documents, ensure that you provide unique names to all the documents so that they are distinct. Even provide distinct names to folders that contain these documents. Do no repeat the name of a folder or document, even if creating it in a separate project. This is to avoid any kind of conflict pertaining to the location, during publish or use at run time. For information about making folders and documents distinct, see topic on using Qualified Names.

Note:
You may notice the following variation in the way the documents are created:
- You may need to create the document first using the associated editor and then save it.
- You may need to save the document first and later open it and work on it.
When you try to save a document, you will be prompted to select a location to store that document. You may select an existing project or folder or create a new project or folder and save the document. As mentioned earlier, in some cases you need to save a document first and later proceed with working on it.
To distinguish the contents of one folder from another at run time, you can set Qualified Name (QN) for folders. The QN will attribute a unique name to the project contents. At run time, when you install the packaged application, this QN will prevent content overwrite. For more details, see the topic Using the Qualified Name.
For the exact procedure relevant to the document you want to create, refer to the task associated with that document (follow the hyperlink in the table).
The document is created and you can view it in Workspace Documents either in Explorer view or My Recent Documents view.
