The Three Phases of Solution Lifecycle
1. Designer (Tutorial)
Create and configure your automation solution
Start here to build your solution from scratch. The Designer is your development environment where you:
- Create solution architecture and data models
- Configure tags, alarms, and historian
- Design HMI displays and reports
- Setup device communications
- Build business logic and scripts
- Test in development mode
Key Skills:
- Solution structure creation
- Tag and device configuration
- Display development with animations
- Alarm and historian setup
- Copy-paste productivity workflows

2. Runtime (Tutorial)
Deploy your solution to production
Learn to transition from development to production. The Runtime tutorials cover:
- Production deployment checklist
- Security hardening and user management
- Performance optimization
- Database migration (SQLite to SQL Server)
- Backup and recovery strategies
- Monitoring and maintenance
- Go-live validation
Key Skills:
- Production configuration
- Security implementation
- License activation
- Performance tuning
- Operational monitoring

3. Solution Center (Tutorial)
Manage multiple solutions from one place
Master centralized solution administration. Solution Center provides:
- Multi-solution management dashboard
- Version control and deployment
- License management
- User administration across solutions
- Template and library sharing
- Import/export operations
- Solution migration tools
Key Skills:
- Solution organization
- Template management
- Bulk operations
- Cross-solution configuration
- Administrative workflows
