   The Processing Options Design tool launches. The area on the left of the form displays how the processing option will look to the user.

4. Locate the data items that you need for the processing options with the Data Dictionary Browser.

5. Use one of these methods to select the data items that you want to add to the processing options:

   • Double-click the item in the Data Dictionary Browser. The item appears in the left side of the form under the tab.

   • Drag the item from the Data Dictionary Browser to the position where you want it in the structure members.

6. Click an item to edit it.
