Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Progress Dynamics Basic Development

> ## Creating a new container

> Use Container Builder to create a new container.

> | To create a new container:

> 1. From the AppBuilder main window, select Build Container Builder. The Container Builder window appears.

> 2. The window is launched in `Add` or `Find` mode; the Add button and Container list box are both enabled. Choose Add to create a new container, as shown:

> 3. Enter a Container name (the logical name of the container) just as you would assign a name to any dynamic container.

> 4. Select the Type of container (`DynFold`, `DynObjc`, or `DynMenu`).

> 5. Enter a description and assign the layout to an existing Product Module. Like every other object in the Progress Dynamics Repository, a container must be assigned to a Product Module. You might want to define a general or system Product Module for objects, such as container templates, that can be used in different application modules.

> 6. Complete any optional fields:

> 1. Select a Super procedure name of a procedure that will be instantiated as a super-procedure of the SmartObject.
> 2. If the container being created is to be based on an existing container (template), select the Container from the list box.
> 3. If this container is to be flagged as a template, select the Template Object check box.
> 7. Click Save.
