Object Wizard Features

An Object Wizard contains choices and options that guide users through the process of configuring instances. You can replace many derived templates by using a single template with an Object Wizard, since the Object Wizard can contain a wide variety of configuration possibilities. Attributes and features contained in the Object Wizard that are not needed in a particular instance are removed and are not a part of the run-time object. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, an Object Wizard is easy to use and can reduce user training and system maintenance costs.

Object Wizards provide the following benefits:

• Simplified workflow for configuring instances

• Automatic propagation of changes, without having to lock templates

• Unnecessary attributes can be trimmed from instances to reduce the footprint of deployed objects

• Unused symbols can be hidden from users to reduce clutter

• Reduced system maintenance

• Reduced training requirements for plant personnel
