Chapter 3: Developing Applications

Application Manager

Use the Application Manager to view, edit, and deploy applications. The Application Manager supports two basic types of applications:

Aggregated application – use the Application Builder to select multiple elements, modify the template selection and other application properties.
Secure application – content captured from a secure Web site. Use the Application Builder to create and edit secure applications.

Application management functions appear in windows that you launch from the Application Manager tool bar.

Application management functions include:

New – launches the Application Builder, where you can create new applications.
Edit – launches the Application Builder where you can edit existing applications and their properties and perform a variety of other functions. See “Viewing and editing applications”.
