Wires

• About wires
  Wires are components within Application Studio that enable you to create user interfaces for apps.
• Create and edit a wire
• Global tags
• Action tags
• Object tags
• Basic Definitions
• Define parameters in an app or app item
  You can use parameters in apps, subapps, includes, forms, and wires. Parameters are similar to the Variable element, but with an additional "output" property. Parameters marked as "output" have the ability to return information to the app or item in which it is used. An app can return an "output" parameter to the requesting caller if it is generated from a "RunApplication" request from the WebAPI. This is the only interface with this ability.
• 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 an app or app item
  You can delete unnecessary apps and app items. Deleting destroys all instances for all promotion levels. An app or app item cannot be deleted if it is checked out.
• Print wires
• 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.
• Upload and download wires
• Check in a wire
  When a wire is edited, it is automatically checked out to the user currently editing the wire. On the screen, text indicates the first and last name of the user that has the wire checked out. The wire is locked and cannot be accessed by another user. It remains checked out until checked in.
• Undo checkout of a wire
  Current edits to a wire 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 wire 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.
• 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.
