Designer Studio — Using the Application menu

Menu item

Description

Select an application to become your current application from those listed in your access group. The scope of the Application Explorer and many other features of the Designer Studio change when you change the current application.

You cannot use the Application menu to open the current application's corresponding application rule. Use the Profile menu to view the rule for the current application.

Starts the Application Profiler which captures information about a planned application, such as requirements and specifications, as an application profile. The resulting application profile provides a foundation for application development as well as a document of the planned details for the project implementation. (See application profile).

Starts the Application Accelerator, which generates an enterprise-level application based on your inputs to the accelerator and, optionally, an application profile. The accelerator generates a set of rules (including classes and RuleSets) for the new application, new implementation, or framework extension. (See Application Accelerator).

Creates an application for prototypes or demonstrations. This action creates a basic application for experimentation and learning. See Application Express.

Displays a list of application profiles currently in progress and those that you can modify. Select the profile you want to open and update.

Above the list of profiles, you can click New Application Profile to create a new profile. (See application profile).
