Saving a dynamic object as static

When you open a dynamic viewer or a dynamic SDO, the File menu enables an additional command: Save Dynamic Object As Static. This option allows you to save either a dynamic viewer or dynamic SDO (and no other dynamic object) as a static object file.

To save either a dynamic viewer or dynamic SDO as a static object file:

Select the dynamic viewer or dynamic SDO in the AppBuilder.
Select File Save Dynamic Object as Static.

The Save dialog box appears, as shown:



Enter a different name for the new static object. You need a new name if you plan to register this static object in the Repository and keep the dynamic object in the Repository.
If you want the item registered in the Repository, check Register in Repository.
Click Save.
Select a Product Module in which to save the file in the Repository.
(Optional) Select one or more of the deployment options or select Design object if this is not intended to be a deployed object. Not selecting an option means the object will be included in all deployments.
Choose OK to save the static file as a static object in the Repository. All existing dynamic events will be written out as static triggers executed the same way as the dynamic events.
