When is it appropriate to set an object's visibility?

Setting an object's visibility when it is created is crucial for establishing its scope and accessibility from the outset. This decision enhances the organization and control of the workflow within Blue Prism. By defining visibility at creation, you can ensure that the object is appropriately exposed or restricted right from the beginning based on the specific needs of the process or application.

This approach allows for clearer management of resources and better adherence to best practices in development. It eliminates potential confusion and errors that may arise if visibility is modified later in the process or is handled inconsistently. Such foresight contributes to a more robust and maintainable automation environment.

Adjustments to object's visibility based on security requirements or modifications should be secondary actions tied to specific scenarios, rather than the initial setup, which is why setting visibility at the creation stage is the most effective strategy.
