    Understand application settings

    The Settings section allows you to make application level configurations. You can view and change information about and change settings for your application. This section is separated into two categories.

    Primary settings

    The Primary settings section allows you to edit basic information specific to the application. You can define the face level settings of your application.

    Advanced settings

    The Advanced settings section allows you to make app-specific configurations such as adding application users, configuring the customer portal, code signing applications, backing up data, creating custom functions, etc. We have grouped the settings under four categories based on functionality.

    Users and Control

    This section allows you to configure and manage your application users and control the accessibility.

    • Users - A person who can access your application. You can invite users, set permissions, and define roles based on your organizational hierarchy. Read more.
    • Customer portal - Enables you to configure a portal for your users to log into their dedicated internal system and access restricted data. Read more.
    • Publish - Publish any component (Form, Report, or Page) in your ManageEngine AppCreator Application, or embed it in your website, blog, etc. Publishing a component makes it public, i.e., a user will not need a ManageEngine AppCreator account to access the component. Read more.

    Data administration

    Data administration involves the features for monitoring, maintaining, and managing data effectively. It allows you to control data assets and their usage.

    • Localization - Set the language for your users to access the application in and create custom translations for each component in the application. Read more.
    • Contextual messages- The messages used in the AppCreator applications are generic and standardized. Contextual messages will allow you to replace these generic messages with custom messages of you own. Read more.
    • Backup - Back up and download your application data or restore backed up data. Read more.
    • Audit trail- Displays the history of record changes for security or auditing purposes. Read more.

    Developer tools

    Developer tools are tailored for application developers to access the application structure, make changes, and test it before updating the live application.

    • Sandbox - Sandbox serves as a preliminary test environment for a live application. App developers can make changes or fixes in Sandbox which will be reflected in the live application only after it is published. Read more.
    • Relationship diagram- Display how the forms are related to each other within the application. Read more.
    • Application IDE - A built-in code editor that allows the application developer to make changes to the application's source code. Read more.
    • Logs - The usage log displays the record all of the interactions that users have in the application. It also displays limits for the total number of records, emails, schedules, SMS, and file attachments that can be used in your account. Read more.
    • Widgets - Widgets are used to extend the capabilities of your AppCreator application so that you could perform tasks that could not be accomplished using the in-built features.

    Extensions

    Extensions enable users to tailor the application functionality and behavior based to their individual needs or preferences. APIs include a set of functions that can be invoked from a custom process or on selected records in a view.

    • Record templates - Create customized templates for individual records. Read more.
