Whether you are a Project Owner, a Creator (non-owner), or an Explorer, you need to be in edit mode when creating constructions.
In this article
1. Edit mode for Project Owners
As you design and organize a project, Project Owners need to be in edit mode. The same applies when creating new constructions. To enter into edit mode, click the edit pen.
Once in edit mode, when you click on an item in the project tree, Harmoni will automatically open the design menu letting you access the options to edit the project tree and construct new items. To search the project tree while in edit mode, click in the search bar and Harmoni will open the search menu.
With the edit pen switched off, you cannot access the design menu.
If you are analyzing the data and not editing the project tree, it is best to have edit mode switched off. Harmoni analysis processing is faster when not in edit mode.
2. Edit mode for Creators (non-owners) and Explorers
There is no edit pen for Creators and Explorers. To create a new item, click the design menu to access the editing and construction tools.
If you need to edit an item you have created, open the expression editor and ensure you click the design menu to access the edit icon or add a new element.
- The search menu is active when you open a project
- Select an item in the project tree and click the design menu to access the editing tools
- To edit a construction, select the item and open the expression editor
- Click the design menu to see the EDIT and NEW ELEMENT options
When you do not require the design menu, ensure you click the search menu tab to allow for faster analysis processing.
