The Library Concept
Library Usage in Designer
As libraries are developed with the Builder, you need to upload them to the Designer to make them accessible in your services.
In the Designer, you upload your libraries to a namespace. This is done in the Libraries section of the Designer administration. The uploaded libraries are then available in all services created in this namespace. How to upload your libraries to the Designer is explained in detail on page Administrating Libraries.
Once a library has been uploaded, you can add it to any service created in this namespace. To do so, open the service and go to the Libraries folder in the Service panel .
Go to page Adding and Updating Libraries for detailed information on how to add a library to a service. Refer to Modeling Execution pp. for further information about the usage of libraries during modeling. |
The Service Panel
The libraries you have added to a service reside in the Service panel.
| If you use the panel preset of the BPMN editor, the Service panel is displayed in the upper left corner of the editor. | ||||||||||||||

The documentation is displayed as a tooltip.For easier reading of longer documentation, you can click the icon to see the complete documentation in a pop-up window:

In addition to imported libraries with predefined data types, you can use the provided Base Types, or you can create your own data model.

| You can also define your own data types in folder Implementation. You can add your own packages, classes, interfaces, operations, properties and parameters.
