Do not show this application as a built-on choice in App Express	Checking this box indicates that this application is an implementation layer, which excludes it from the list of applications presented in Application Express 's Built- on Application drop-down list on Step 1. If you created the application with Application Express, the system checks this box by default for an implementation layer, and leaves it empty for a framework layer. The value of this checkbox is descriptive; it does not restrict in any way the function or behavior of the application. You may check this box for a framework layer application if you want to prevent t from being selected as a built-on value.
