Creating an application

The availability of the application ownership feature depends on the license and may not be available in all deployments.

Creating an application

To create a new application, go to the module Applications, and then click the button Add application. A window will open in which you should:

• enter the application name (according to the rules described in the chapter Naming conventions for application elements)

• select the owner - indicate the group responsible for the application,

  • A regular user can select only the groups they belong to.

  • Artifact Manager has permission to assign any group available in the system.

• optionally - add an icon.

Clicking the Add application will create the application and automatically switch to the tab Forms. The name of the newly created application will appear in the upper-left corner of the window.

Adding or importing a form or process

After creating the application, the next step is to add forms and processes to it.

Only forms and processes are added to the application (other dependent artifacts will be added automatically).

To add a form/process to the application, while in the tab Forms or Processes, click the button Add form/process. In the displayed window, you can add a new form or process (option New form/process) or import an existing one from the repository (option Import existing). Depending on the selected option, the artifact-adding window looks different. Below is a description of how to add a form - the steps are identical for a process.

New artifacts can be added to the application only by a person belonging to the owner group of the given application.

Adding a new form

If you want to add a newly created request to the application, proceed as with standard form creation:

• define its name and location,

• optionally add a description,

• select the owner - indicate the group responsible for the application,

  • A regular user can select only the groups they belong to.

  • Artifact Manager has permission to assign any group available in the system.

• optionally change the number of columns (16 columns by default).

After clicking the button Add request the window of the newly created form requiring saving will open.

Importing an existing form

If you have previously created a form, select in the window Add form the option Import existing and enter the request name in the search field (as you type more characters, you narrow the list of templates). After clicking the request name, it will be added to the application. Adding an existing form to the application will automatically pull in all dependent elements, such as composite components, content, dictionaries, or validators.

You can see all artifacts that make up the application in the tab All.
