Definition Tab

The tab contains GPM Project items or PB Project Module items. The items have different statuses and can be grouped depending on the most recent actions performed on them.

Quick Filter

Consists of:

1. Text box and drop-down, which enable the filtering of items by name and type.
2. The Show Item Dependencies check box, which displays a list of all dependencies (grayed out). Dependencies are items which have been added to the Project automatically because they were needed by another item added manually (see Item Dependencies).
3. The Show Ignored Items check box, which enables displaying ignored items on the Project Definition Items list.

Quick Commands

Contain links to commonly used actions.

Folder Pane

Enables adding, removing, and browsing content folders (see Folders Overview). To display the pane, select the Show In-Project Folders from the View menu.

Items Pane

Contains a list of GPM Project or PB Project Module Items with their properties. The Version column corresponds to the Compilation Version column in Process Builder's Entity Manager, but also refers to some non-compiled entities. To refresh the column's value, click Detect Changes quick command. Right-clicking an item opens the Project Definition Tab Right-Click Menu.

Items Statuses

Icon	Status	Description
	Cancelled	The item has been cancelled in Process Builder.
	Unknown	The status may appear for items (including their dependencies) in a database that is configured as an Alternative data source (see Adding Database Objects to a Project). It means that there is no connection established to database (see the Database Type column). Entities in the Unknown status will be ignored when generating a package.
	In Design	The item is in the Design in Progress or Development in Progress status that was set in Process Builder. You cannot generate a package that contains this item. GPM can ignore the entities in the In Design status only when the "AllowGeneratePackageWithInDesignDevelopmentStatus" Central Configuration key is set to true (for details, see Central Configuration Documentation). If the issue is related with Project definition mismatch, using the Synchronize PB Project command may be helpful.
	Ignored	The item has been manually set as Ignored (right-click menu options). It cannot be added to a package.
	No changes	The item has not changed since the last generation of a package it is included
	Missing	The item is missing (the reference points to a non-existent item). The item in this status blocks generation of a package. In this case, deliver or ignore missing entities. If the issue is related with Project definition mismatch, using the Synchronize PB Project command may be helpful.
	Modified	The item has been modified since last time a package for this Project was generated. It will be added to a package during the next package generation.
	Modified Dynamic Entity	Valid only for entities based on a dynamic selection query while the query is detecting changes. The item is assigned this status if the results returned by the query are different from last time a package was generated.
	Marked as changed	The item will be added to a package during the next package generation. It was set to this status after using the Force Export command.
	New	The item has been recently added to the Project.

Project Definition Items Groups

Items in a Project can be displayed in groups (each group contains items with specific statuses). To enable such grouping, select the Group Project Definition Items from the View menu.

• In Design – contains items with the In Design status. You cannot generate a package that contains these items. If an item has not been exported yet (i.e., included in a package already generated), all of the other items that reference it get the In Design status. Processes and Operations that were added with the In Design status retain this status in GPM.
• To Be Packaged – contains items with the following statuses: New, Marked as Changed, Modified, Modified Dynamic Entity. This group contains all items not in the In Design status that have been modified since the last time they were included in a package.
• Packaged on… – contains items with the No Changes status. These are items that have not changed since the last package generation.
• Missing – contains items with the Missing status. This status marks items which have been added to a Project but are now inaccessible.
• Ignored – contains items with the Ignored status. This status indicates items that are not packed or checked for changes, and can be easily hidden (using the relevant check box in the Quick filter).
• To Be Cancelled – contains Processes and Operations in the Cancelled statuses. After a package is deployed, GPM looks for these items by FUID. If they are found, their status is changed to Cancelled.
• Items that may cause deployment errors – contains Processes and Operations in the Cancelled status that are automatically added to a package as dependencies of other items. If an Operation from this category exists in the destination database, the package will be deployed. Otherwise, the deployment will fail.

  Make sure you want to transfer cancelled Operations that have a non-cancelled parent. If not, unlink the Operation from all its non-cancelled parents and detect the changes.

When a Project has been imported from another server during package deployment, the Definition tab will not be visible and the Project will not be editable. Note that exported Projects are marked with a different icon () than standard Projects.
