Concept: Assembly Editor Preferences

You can specify preferences for your assembly diagrams using the

. Select one of these nodes to specify the related Assembly Editor preference:

Migration
On the
Migration
page, you can turn migration on or off for legacy assembly projects created using earlier versions of Workday Studio.
If migration is enabled, Workday Studio automatically migrates the assembly configuration for an assembly.xml file to the latest version of Studio when you open the file.
To turn automatic migration off, clear the
Enable legacy assembly migration in the Assembly Editor
check box before opening or saving an assembly.xml file.
Modules
Before you start developing assembly module templates, create a folder to store your assembly modules either in your workspace, or in an external location such as a folder within your Workday Studio installation.
The
Module Library
in the Assembly Editor's assembly tools palette displays only those assembly modules that are selected to load from the modules folder, as specified in the
Window
Preferences
Workday
Assembly Editor
Modules page
. Click
Browse Workspace
or
Browse File System
to locate the modules folder and specify the path to this folder. Studio displays all assembly module XMI (XML Metadata Interchange) files that are located in the specified folder in the
Modules
table. Select the check box beside each assembly module that you want to load in the
Module Library
. Studio performs template validation and loads only valid XMI files.
At design time, the
Assembly Module
wizard prompts you to save the module XMI file to a folder in your workspace. If preferred, you can later copy the assembly module XMI files from your workspace folder to the modules folder that you specify here, if different from the workspace folder.
