Manage library items in the Designer view

The Designer view offers several tools to ensure that you can quickly and easily access items that you work with on a regular basis. With the Designer, you can move or copy items between existing or new process applications and toolkits. You can also revert to previous versions of individual library items using snapshots.

Before performing any of the following tasks, start IBM Process Designer and access the Designer view.

• Navigating the library
  The Designer view in IBM Process Designer displays information about process applications, toolkits, and smart folders.
• Create favorites
  

  You can mark library items as favorites for quick and easy access.

• Tagging library items
  Use tags or tag groups to quickly sort library items. By default, you can sort library items by name or by type.
• Organizing library items in smart folders
  

  You can arrange library items in smart folders for quick and easy access. The Designer includes several default smart folders such as the Changed today folder, which includes all library items in the current process application that were changed on the current day. The Changed today and Changed this week smart folders include library items changed by all users who have access to the current process application.

• Copying or moving library items
  

  You can copy or move existing library items to a new or existing process application or toolkit in the Designer view.

• Reverting to a previous version of a library item
  

  You can revert to a previous version of a library item in the Designer view.

• Copying an asset from a snapshot
  In the library in the Designer view, you can copy an asset from an older snapshot to the current version of your process application.

  For example, if a service was developed and then deleted, you can go back to a snapshot where the service was still present and copy it to the current working version of your process application.

• Understanding concurrent editing
  Multiple users can simultaneously access and make changes to the library items in the Designer view. With concurrent editing, you can collaborate with other team members to build the library items that you need for your project.

  For example, you can communicate about your ideas and edits using instant messaging and see the results in the Designer view as they happen.
