Applications

enaio® • 10.10 »

Applications consist of a form and transfer parameters. The transfer parameters are the dialog elements of the form and further parameters that are accessed via scripts.

Assign the application to one or more activities. While configuring the activity, enter which variable is assigned to which transfer parameters. If dialog elements are treated like transfer parameters, you will have to specify which dialog element allows you to edit an activity variable.

Define a type for the transfer parameters when configuring the application:

  • Input parameters

The current variable value is sent to the parameter, although changes are not returned to the process.

  • Output parameters

The current value of the variable is not sent to the parameter. If a value was defined, it will be transferred to the process.

  • Input/output parameters

The current value of the variable is sent to the parameter, and changes are returned to the process.

Schema:

An application is assigned to a client type. You can create various applications for various client types.

Application

Applications are configured on the Applications tab:

  • Enter a unique name.
  • Optionally, enter a description.
  • Select a form from the list.

    • enaio® client and enaio® webclient require scripts in different languages and may not be mappable to an application. Applications for enaio® webclient are also running in enaio® webclient as a desktop application as well as in enaio® mobile apps starting with version 9.0. Scripts for enaio® webclient in JavaScript can use 'form.Helper.getPlatformInfo()' to determine on which device and operating system the application is running.

    Applications for the previous app version 'enaio MobileClient' can still be configured. This version will be discontinued soon.
