Menu	Description
Object Generator	Runs the tool you can use to generate Progress SmartDataobjects™, logic procedures, dynamic SmartDataBrowsers, dynamic SmartDataViewers, and dynamic DataFields described in Chapter 5 "Using the Object Generator".
Container Builder	Runs the Container Builder tool, which you can use to create containers and container templates for windows and pages of tab folders described in Chapter 8 "Using the Progress Dynamics Container Builder".
Toolbar and Menu Designer	Runs the Toolbar and Menu Designer tool, which you can use to build custom menus and toolbars for your application described in Chapter 12, " Using the Toolbar and Menu Designer."
Repository Maintenance	Runs the Repository Maintenance tool you can use to edit object and instance attributes. This is a low-level tool and usually should be avoided. Everything you can do here can be done with more user-friendly tools in the AppBuilder environment.
SmartDataField Maintenance	Runs the Progress SmartDataField™ maintenance property sheet where you can define dynamic lookups and combos. These objects are described in Chapter 7, " Building Progress Dynamics Lookups and Combos."
Tree Node Control	Runs the tool where you can create individual TreeView nodes for a dynamic TreeView window. You then run the Dynamic TreeView Builder to assemble these into a finished TreeView window.
Dynamic TreeView Builder	Runs the Dynamic TreeView Builder where you can create, generate, and edit dynamic tree view and menu objects. The tree view is a special window layout and Progress Dynamics object with which you can create a single window with many pages, navigated by means of a tree view control on the side of the window. The Dynamic TreeView Builder is described in Chapter 9, " Building Progress Dynamics TreeView Windows."
Set Site Number	Lets you specify the Repository site number information. Every Progress Dynamics user organization should have a unique site number or range of site numbers allocated to them. Getting and using a site number is described in Chapter 4, " Preparing to Build Application Objects."
