Business Object Designer (BOD)

The Business Object Designer (BOD) is an administrative tool for viewing, editing, and creating iMIS business objects. It provides a graphical user interface to the properties related to business objects.

Important: As of 15.2.10, all Actions and Constraints are now removed from BOD, to support optimal performance and scalability. If you added any actions or constraints to your own business objects, be aware that they will no longer run when your business object is used.
