Application attributes and properties
Except for the change history and permissions, which are set in the Properties tab, all application attributes are set in the application editor.
Use the following procedure to define the attributes and properties of an application.
To define application attributes and properties
- In BMC Remedy Developer Studio, right-click on the application's name in the AR System Navigator, and select Edit Application.
- Expand one or more panels and modify attributes as needed.
The following sections describe the contents of each panel. - Modify permissions and other properties in the Properties tab.
- Select File > Save.
General panel
The primary properties in the General panel determine the application label and development state. The following sections describe these properties in detail.
Label
For deployable applications, if a Label is specified, it is used in place of the application object name to identify the application corresponding to entry points in the home page. For more information about entry points and home pages, see Creating and managing fields.
The Label also has a specific meaning when an application is accessed directly in Windows clients. For more information, see Alternatives for presenting applications to users.
State
This property defines the application state (Maintenance, Production, Test, or custom) and appears for deployable applications only. Depending on the state you select, different access permissions are applied to the application.
For more information, see Working with deployable application states.
Forms panel
The Forms panel determines the forms included in the application, as explained in Creating objects in an application and Adding existing objects to an application.
The following Forms properties apply only to applications that users do not access through entry points on a home page:
- Primary Form
- Primary View
For more information about these properties, see Alternatives for presenting applications to users.
Packing Lists panel
For deployable applications only, this panel defines the packing lists to include in the application.
Support Files panel
The Support Files Panel is for web applications only. This panel defines the names and locations of resources used in web views that are included in the application object. For more information, see Managing resource files.
Access Points panel
For deployable applications only, this panel defines which forms, active link guides, and filter guides are integrated with other deployable applications. For more information, see Working with deployable application access points.
Data panel
For deployable applications only, this panel defines the forms whose data is included in an application export. It also defines the qualifications (if any) that select sets of records, and import options such as the handling of duplicate request IDs.
Statistics panel
For deployable applications only, this panel defines the forms that participate in statistics tracking for the application.
Help Text panel
The Help Text panel supplies help text about the application for administrators. It typically includes a description of the application, what it does, and how it is used. For general information about creating help text in BMC Remedy AR System server, see Providing help text.
Properties tab
Use the Permissions property in the Properties tab to determine which access control groups can display the application in the user client. For more information, see Access control for a deployable application.
Use the Subadministrator Permissions property to define subadministrator permissions for access control groups. For more information, see Rights-for-subadministrators.
BMC Remedy AR System server automatically records the owner of an application, the developer who last modified the application, and the date of the modification. To display or add to this information, click the Change History property in the Properties tab.
For general information about building and using change history, see Updating change history.
