Managing and using toolkits

You can create toolkits to enable Process Designer users to share library items across applications (apps).

Toolkits are containers you use to store artifacts that are shared across apps. Artifacts in an app are available only to that app. To make artifacts available across apps, you put them in a toolkit and add the toolkit as a dependency to the app. For example, if you are developing a banking app you might define business objects (Customer, account and so on) to hold information. Because these business objects would be standard across all your apps, you would put them in a toolkit to be reused by other apps. Applications can share library items from one or more toolkits, and toolkits can share library items from other toolkits. Unlike an app, a toolkit can't be deployed. The contents of dependent toolkits are included in the app when you deploy it.

Users who have access to a toolkit can create a dependency on the toolkit and use the library items within it for their process development efforts. See the following sections to learn how to create and maintain toolkits, as well as how to use them during process development.
