Configuration elements

• About configuration elements
  You can configure the behavior and appearance of your Advanced Inventory apps through configuration elements. Configuration elements replace keyed values, and enable you to extend the capabilities of a single app to meet all the variable aspects of a business process, such as values that need to change based on the type of user or organizational unit.
• Configure an app
  Configuration elements let you configure the behavior and appearance of an app, and to then edit the values without the need to redeploy or republish the app.
• Create and edit configuration elements
• Configuration element categories
• Reference configuration elements in apps
• Assign values to configuration elements
• About user overrides of configuration values
  When specified in the configuration element settings, a user can edit certain aspects of the app at runtime.
• View apps and app items
  Apps and app items can be viewed in view-only mode. In this mode, you can access their elements but cannot change the information.
• Delete a configuration element
  You can delete a configuration element when it is not referenced in an app or app component.
• Print configuration elements
• View history and roll back apps and app items
  The history of an app or app item can be viewed in the Item History dialog box. The Item History dialog box also allows for rolling back to earlier versions of the app or item. For files in the Repository, if a file is edited and uploaded again with the same name, its version number is increased. You can roll back to an earlier version if necessary.
• Undo checkout for an app or app item
  Current edits to an app or app item can be undone by undoing checkout. Even after changes have been saved, the checkout can still be undone to discard the most recent changes. When undoing checkout, the app or app item remains at the same version as when editing was begun. Checkout cannot be undone to discard the most recent edits if the edits have been checked in.
• Upload and download configuration elements
• Find references in Application Studio
  In Application Studio there are references from items to other items. For example, you may want to find all the references to a particular repository image in forms, or to find which apps reference a particular subapp. References can be found in projects for an item in the project tree, but not for a project itself. References can be found for all apps and items.
• Color selection options
  You can use the following options in the color picker window.
