Adding existing objects to an application

You can use these methods to add existing objects to an application:

• Forms and packing lists — Open the application for editing and use the Add button to add an existing form or packing list to the application. See To add existing forms to an application and To add existing packing lists to an application.
• All other objects — Associate the object with a form controlled by the application.
   Any object you create is in the application if it is associated with a form in the application. For example, if you create a menu and attach it to a field in a form in an application, the menu is in the application.

When you add an existing form to an application, all of the objects associated with that form, such as workflow and menus, are also added to the application. Likewise, when you remove a form, all of the objects related to it are removed from the application. Removing a form from an application does not delete the form on the server. For more information, see Deleting objects.
