Using Editors

The following table describes some of the editors that are available. These editors include a canvas and you can use them with the Palettes pane. A canvas is a background that appears in different designers. It includes a work area that allows you to move or rearrange objects. For example, the Task Designer allows you to move a Siebel Operation step from the Palettes pane to the canvas. The canvas also indicates whether or not you can edit an object.
