View definition components
The View designer in the BMC Helix Innovation Studio contains the following components that you can use while designing a view definition in the Digital Service application UI.
Important
Application business analysts can customize the objects developed in their own applications and that are marked customizable by the developers, but cannot customize the objects developed in com.bmc.arsys. For example, objects in core BMC applications like Foundation, Approval, and Assignment cannot be customized. For more information, see Customization layer.
