What is Designer and what kind of modes linked with designers and Business Objects?

The designer is the module used by designers for developing and maintaining Universes. It is a set which is related to Business Object IS. Here Universe refers to the semantic layer which keeps apart the end users from the technical issues that may be associated with the databases. But Universe designers have the possibility to make available this to the end users. They can do this by moving these as a file through exporting files to the central repository or through the system of files.

There are mainly two kinds of modes linked with them. These are:

• Enterprise Mode
• Workgroup Mode
