Custom Step Types

You can create custom step types to meet the needs of an application. Custom step types differ from the step templates you store in the Templates list on the Insertion Palette, as the following table describes:

Item Description Effect of Change Made
Custom step types Define standard functionality for a class of steps. Changes can affect step instances previously inserted into sequences.
Step templates Preconfigured instances of step types you typically use, such as calls to frequently used code modules. Changes do not affect steps previously inserted into sequences.
