Relationship: Application Options have Application Properties

The Application Options have Application Properties relationship enables you to assign properties to applications. Properties which are assigned to an application have an application-wide scope, this means they can be accessed within any execution context.

The default value for an Application Property is the value set under Default Value of the target property. If the Property is also defined as a Static Property in the Master Configuration file, the value defined in the Master Configuration is used as the default value for the Application Property and overrides the Default Value set in the target Property.

The value of an Application Property can be reset to its default value by checking the Application Properties option in the Clear Cache dialog box. The Clear Cache dialog box is available as a context menu action of the currently active application.

Attribute Type Description
Constant Boolean Specifies whether the Application Property is an invariable value:
True
The value of the application property cannot be changed.
False
The value of the application property can be modified by the execution of a tool with Resource Processing Update.
Target ID Property The reference to the property.
Mandatory Boolean Specifies whether the application property is required so that the application can be executed:
True
A default value is required when loading the application. This value can either be retrieved from Static Properties of the Master Configuration or from the Default Value of the target Property.
False
A value is not required when loading the application.

Example

A modifiable application property could be used in a dialog box containing a Remember my decision check box. If the option is checked, the property value can be stored within application properties and the dialog would not be displayed the next time the action is executed.
