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 runtime 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 graphics can be hidden from users to reduce clutter

• Reduced system maintenance

• Reduced training requirements for plant personnel
