Product design modes in Advanced Product Designer

Advanced Product Designer adds a Product Design Mode setting to PolicyCenter. This offers increasing levels of interaction with visualized products.

To set Product Design Mode, select Preferences from the Options menu. The modes are:

Mode	Description
Hidden	Visualized products are hidden.
User	Visualized products can be demonstrated without revealing design elements.
Designer	You can add and modify visualized products in the Product Management screen. In submissions and other policy transactions, you can make changes to the visualized product. This is the default value.
Developer	Same as Designer, and fields related to product code generation are available. You can generate the product.

Production system

Advanced Product Designer is unavailable when PolicyCenter is in production mode. In production mode there is no Product Design Mode setting, and the Product Management screen does not let you create or modify visualized products.
