Configuring applications for reuse
To save time and immediately start application development, make your application available as a template. When you save your application as a template, other users can quickly build a new application from that sample. The newly created application automatically inherits template logic, data, and personas.
- In the header of Dev Studio, click the name of the application, and then click Definition.
- On the Application wizard tab, select the Show this application in the New Application wizard check box.
- In the New Application wizard settings section, in the
Short description field, provide the name and purpose of your
application:
- To reuse existing information, press the Down arrow key, and then select a field value that stores the information that you need.
- To use a new name, enter a unique and descriptive label, for example, Hiring process.
- In the Application description field, provide a description so
that users can decide whether to reuse your application:
- To reuse existing information, press the Down arrow key, and then select a field value that stores the information that you need.
- To use a new description, enter a unique and descriptive text, for example, Use this application to process job applications.
- In the New application access list, select the access group that
users receive when they reuse your application.You can only choose from development access groups, which are access groups that contain the developer or pxExpress portals.
- Optional: To distinguish your application when users select reusable templates, replace the
default logo and preview images:
- In the Brand section, click Upload Image.
- In the explorer dialog box, navigate to the file for your company or organization logo, and then click Upload Image.
- In the Desktop snapshot section, click Upload Image.
- Navigate to a screen capture that is at least 370 pixels by 233 pixels, and then click Upload Image.
- In the Mobile snapshot section, click Upload Image.
- Navigate to a screen capture that is at least 110 pixels by 194 pixels, and then click Upload Image.
