Duplicating applications
You can duplicate an existing application to use as a template for a new application. You can then extend and modify the functionality of the base application in the Application Designer.
Procedure
- Open the application you want to duplicate in the Application Designer.
- Select the Duplicate Application Definition action to open the Duplicate Application window.
- In the Application field, specify
a unique name for the application. Use a clear and consistent naming convention, such as using your company name as a prefix. Choose application names that are easy to identify in menus, and easy to recognize in log files and during a system upgrade.
- In the Description field, specify
a text description. This text shows in the navigation bar of the application.
- Click OK and then click Save.
Results
The duplicated application is listed in the Go To menu in the same module as the original application. To view the new application, sign out of the system to refresh the list of applications in the Go To menu. When you sign back into the system, the new application is available in the Go To menu.
What to do next
Open the application in the Application Designer and make the changes needed to adapt the application to your business needs.
