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.
