To configure a Mimic, you have to log on via a User account that has the Configure permission for the Group that is to contain (or already contains), the Mimic. To save the Mimic to the database, your User account also needs to have the Configure Document and Configure Database permissions (defined in the User account configuration). To save the Mimic as a file, your User account has to have the Configure Local Files permission (also defined in the User account configuration).
When you have logged on via a suitable account, you can display a Mimic in Design mode and begin configuring it by adding objects and editing them. Before you create a Mimic, you should familiarize yourself with the topics that are listed in the gray footer section at the bottom of this topic. Select the relevant entry to display the topic that you require.
These topics will help you to design user-friendly Mimics and work efficiently. By using features such as the Symbol Library, you can significantly reduce the amount of time and effort required to create a practical and visually appealing Mimic.
When you are ready to begin the configuration of your Mimic, we recommend you begin by Configuring the Mimic Properties.
