Author Studio Experience

The layout of Author Studio™ is built with a user-friendly interface. The simplicity of the layout makes it easy for you to load assets, make changes, and create intuitively.

Author Studio Workspace Explained

The overall layout consists of Navigation Pane, Workspace, and Properties Panel.

Navigation Pane

The primary navigation of the page allows you to jump to your desired spot quickly. Items selected will load in the workspace. The core sections are Model, Author, Test, and Publish.

You can select the collapse arrow to minimize the Navigation Pane for maximum workspace capabilities.

Workspace

Workspace is the primary functional area of Author Studio. Here is where most activities and selections will occur.

Properties Panel

The Properties Panel displays metadata for the item selected in the workspace. If no item is selected, then the Properties Panel displays the metadata for the parent item. 

You can select the collapse arrow to minimize the Navigation Pane for maximum workspace capabilities.

Breadcrumbs

Breadcrumbs allow you to see where you are. The hierarchy uses a Component Naming convention. When editing a rule, the breadcrumb will end with the rule type. You can quickly jump around within the workspace by clicking the location within the Breadcrumbs. 

Managing a Rule Application from the Navigation Pane

The Navigation Pane operates within a selection hierarchy. When a rule application is selected, then Decisions, Rule sets, and Validate load the data in the Workspace for the selected rule application.
