File-based workflow in the Web Designer

With the Web Designer, you can edit custom objects locally on your computer. To do this, export all existing custom objects from the database. All object types are taken into account and copied to the hard drive.

After exporting these objects, they can be edited, removed, or supplemented by additional objects on your computer. Object editing on your computer is no different than editing in the database project.

NOTE: You can only export complete objects for file-based editing. A default object can be custom configured on the hard drive. A hybrid type of single object is not provided for.

To edit files in the Web Designer

  1. Start the Web Designer and, in the Solution project in Select project save type dialog, click the Solution project option.
  2. Select the Load solution option.
  3. Perform one of the following tasks:
    1. In the Windows dialog, select the MyWebDesignerSolution.wds file from the folder in which the solution is stored.
    2. Select the name of the solution project that was opened last.
  4. In the navigation view, select the file you want to work.
    NOTE: Files that come from the local system are found in the From file system node.
  5. Edit the objects that you want to change and save the modified objects to the hard drive.

To open the folders of the edited file

NOTE: The custom module you want to change must be open in the Web Designer.
  1. Mark the tab for your custom module and select the Node editor view.
  2. Open the Windows Explorer by clicking .

    The associated folders for the edited file are show in your Windows Explorer.

  • DialogAeds
  • DialogAedsAction
  • DialogAedsActionType
  • DialogAedsActionHasObject
NOTE: If these database tables do not have read permissions, the wizard will not open.

During export, all objects in the selected module are copied to the hard drive. This includes the following objects.

  • Modules
  • Components
  • Layout definitions
  • Web projects
  • Project files
  • Form Types

In the steps below, the Create solution option is selected.
