  5. Click Connect.

  6. In the Select project save type dialog, perform one of the following tasks:

    • Click Database project to save the project in the database.

    • Click Solution project to save the project within a solution.

      TIP: For more information, see Project types.

  7. (Optional) To save the selected storage type for future projects, select the Use selected project as default option.

  8. Click OK.

    The API Designer opens and displays the start page.

Project types

The API Designer distinguishes between two different project types for saving your changes.

  • Database project: The project will be stored in the database. Your saved changes are visible to others.

  • Solution project: API Designer allows file-based editing of custom objects locally on your own computer. For more information, see Solution projects.

Solution projects

API Designer allows for custom objects to be edited locally in a file-based format on your own computer. To do this you will need to export any custom objects stored within the database to the API Designer. In other words, you must use the "solution project" project type (see Changing the project type).

To import the changes made to the solution project back into the database, follow the instructions in Importing solution project changes into a database.

After exporting these objects from the database, you can edit and remove them on your computer, or supplement them with additional objects. Local object editing is no different than editing within the database project.

During export, any objects contained in the selected module are copied to the hard drive:

  • API projects

  • API files
