The DCO Application Enablement wizard allows you to add or update requirements, use cases, actors and work types to an existing application that is either partially  DCO enabled or not at all.

Enabling an application through this wizard allows you to leverage other Direct Capture capabilities — Application Document wizard, Application Profiler, and Application Accelerator - as you plan and build out new functionality, or extend the application.

Note: Introduced in Process Commander V6.2, the Discover Work Types button on the Application rule form's Detailstab is provided instead of the DCO Application Enablement wizard.

To enable an application in V6.2 that was not initially developed using DCO, open its application rule and use the Discover Work Types button to locate work types that are in the system and available to the application. The work types are added to the Work Types array of the application rule, and DCO capabilities are enabled for the application.

Example of the Discover Work Types button in an application rule:

The wizard can be started, updated, and run by users who have access to the Designer Studio.
