    • The custom application record defines and identifies an application and all its associated artifacts.

    It is similar to a system dictionary record for a table or column in that it stores the most current configuration of an application. The system automatically creates a custom application record during the application creation process. Application developers can use this record to perform the following tasks.
    • Change the application name
    • Change the application version
    • View the scope the system uses to identify application files and configuration records
    • Enable scoped administration
    • Manage design and runtime access to the application
      • Select what JavaScript standards the application supports
      • Select how the system tracks runtime API operations
      • Permit or restrict access to tables from other applications
    • Monitor or enforce subscriptions
    • Select the default menu in which to display application modules
    • Set the user role required to access the application
    • Add or update a logo
    • View all application files
    • View resources from other applications on which the application depends
    • View the run-time resource to which the application has been granted access
    • View the design-time resources to which the application has been granted access
