Enabling outside workflow to access your application

Use the following procedures to define access points for your application, and to take advantage of access points in other applications during development.

To define access points in a deployable application

1. In Developer Studio, right-click on the application's name in the AR System Navigator, and select Edit Application.
2. In the Application tab in the editor area, open the Access Points panel.
3. Click Add.
4. In the Object Selector, select the forms, active link guides, and filter guides to add as access points to the application, and click OK.
5. Select File > Save.

Using access points during development

To locate access points for other applications, use the Access Points column when selecting the form, active link guide, or filter guide. This procedure describes the specific steps for an example in which you want to add a secondary form to an active link. The secondary form is owned by another application and is defined as an access point. This example is illustrated in the following figure.

Example procedure: Add a form defined as an access point

1. In Developer Studio, open the object for which you want to locate an access point. In this case, the object is an active link that already has its primary form defined.
2. In the Associated Forms panel, click Add.
3. In the Form Selector dialog box, change the filter settings for Application to <All>.
4. Click the Access Points column heading to sort the list based on the access point setting. Access points are labeled Yes in this column.
5. Select the correct form from the list.
