Hello, we are starting the use of composer, and could use some light on this:

When an application is started with composer and it's objects created, how do we know what objects need to be completed or created?

It's totally based on initial requirements you have in your hand. You have to upload a requirement/Plan document to the composer. Based on the logics you have in your document, Appian will suggest records/rules/processes/data model/personnas which you may need to build your application. You will have an ability to remove which you don't want to get created before composer creates it. For more details, check here- Generating a Plan - Appian 26.2

After Composer generates your plan, go to the Plan tab and review the planning tabs  - each tab lists the objects that need to be completed or created.
Simply work through each tab to know exactly what your team needs to build.

In my tests with composer, I think that you have to touch each and every object to make this a stable, maintainable application following your local best practices. E.g. composer does not use translation sets.

    Thanks Stefan for your experience based answer.  I have come to a similar conclusion at this time:
    Composer generates some of the code, but it does not specify what has been generated, and what has not, and what has been partially generated and needs to be completed.  In order to use the code, programmer has to understand requirements, and then understand how the generated objects fit into the requirements, and then move forward to coding.
