Access
To create a task's master program, select the Build option in the context-sensitive menu (or the equivalent button) in the Tasks tab of the Object manager.
This program will use the same program template as the task.
The dialog box displayed is an intermediate dialog box providing access to the defined program's guided building sequence.

Visibility
The visibility of a program can be either public or private.
Only the owner of the program, or a software engineer with modification authorities, can change the visibility.
A public program cannot be changed into a private program if it is attached to more than one application area.
An Adelia batch program must have the same visibility as all its reports.
In creation mode, the visibility is by default set to private.
