Create a New Super Genie

You can configure and save a Super Genie page as a library object. If you save your Super Genie as a library object it is not saved as a normal page and thus is not instantiated by default in your project. A Super Genie library object is only instantiated when it has been attached to a Genie and the Genie is placed on a page in your project. Once the library object is instantiated the Super Genie is available for use in your project.

Note: If you configure a Super Genie in this way and name the page with an ! prefix, then you need to select List System Pages from the Graphics Builder Options menu to show the page with the other pages, so you can then select it and edit the page. Otherwise it will be hidden.

To create a new Super Genie:

1. Open Graphics Builder.

2. From the toolbar select the New button, or select New from the File menu.

3. Click the Super Genie option. A blank Super Genie page will open.

4. Create your Super Genie as you would any graphics page.

   

5. From the toolbar select Save, or select Save from the File menu.

6. The Save as dialog opens. The Super Genie tab is active, with no other options available.

7. Enter a name for the Super Genie in the Super Genie field (for example, "!sg2_test").

8. Select the Library and Project in which you would like to store the Super Genie.

   Like Genie libraries, Super Genies libraries are global and can be used between projects.

9. Click OK.

   Note: Save it in a Super Genie library using an exclamation mark (!) prefix. This keeps the pages hidden in the configuration environment (they are visible only if attached to a Genie).
