After logging in, you are in the Explorer of the Scheer PAS Designer. The explorer tab is the place where you manage your content. Its main purpose is to structure your work.

The Explorer Tab

The explorer tab consists of two areas:

  1. Structuring Your Work
  2. The Settings Area

The Explorer Tree

In the tree on the left side of the explorer tab you create new folders, services, models and forms which are displayed in a hierarchially structured page tree.


To expand an element in the tree, click on .

If you want to show less content in the tree, use the icon to hide the content of the corresponding element.

To open a BPMN model or a form from the explorer tree, use the  icon.

You can also rearrange the content of the explorer tab by dragging and dropping elements.

Start dragging an element to a new place in the tree. Allowed destinations are highlighted.

Info

Drag & drop is only possible in the same namespace.

In Folders you can manage your contents, therefore it is possible to create folders on different levels of the tree. You can create folders...

  • ... in namespaces.
  • ... in other folders.
  • ... in the Models folder.
  • ... in the Forms folder.
Service


A Service contains one executable service. Within a service you manage the necessary settings for your service such as the used libraries, the BPMN model, the service properties and forms.

Libraries

-

The Libraries folder is automatically created in every service folder. It contains all necessary libraries to model the execution part of the service. Libraries are uploaded to the whole namespace, see page Administrating Libraries for details.

The Settings Area

If you click on an element in the tree its settings are displayed in the settings area where you can edit them.

Tip

The settings of each element are explained in detail on the element pages: Namespaces, Folders, Services, Libraries, Models, Single BPMN Model, Forms and Single Form.

If you select a service in the Explorer tree, you can manage the service settings in the settings area.

You can deploy, start and stop the service. You have also direct access to the Integration (Bridge) component.

If the service already has been deployed and it contains forms, you have access to your executed forms via the Open Application button.


For BPMN models and forms, the settings area also lists all elements that have been created within the model or form.

Click on an element in the list Elements Inside Model to switch to the element in the BPMN or Form Editor.

A breadcrump navigation is displayed in the settings area, showing the levels of your namespace. Use it to switch to a higher level at any time.

You can also resize the areas in the explorer window by drawing the frame in the middle.
