A Designer project holds the building blocks for the process flows that you will create under that project. These include services, transforms, adapters, emitters, and schemas.

Designer also provides process flow objects, which are the executables within a process flow that direct and act upon the input to the process flow. The process flow is graphically represented in the workspace as a box and line diagram. The boxes are the objects you add and the lines are the relationships you define between those objects. Designer includes executable objects, for example, a transform object converts a document from one format to another. Other objects control the flow of a document, for example, a Decision Test object routes a document based on a true or false condition. As you build a process flow, you will configure each object and the relationships between them to meet your requirements.

Once the process flow is created and saved, you can validate the structure and then test the process flow in a run-time environment. You can then make it available for use by publishing it to a run-time environment.
