This topic describes some general features of the Framework application and their functionality, including areas that are not fully supported in the Aptify Web interface.

Adding and Removing Applications and Services

Applications or services available to a user in the Aptify Desktop client can also be used in the Aptify web interface. In addition, you can add or remove Applications or Services using the Applications and Services menu.

Using Attachments

The Aptify web interface includes support for adding and removing attachments. The attachment function is available via the toolbar, located in the center of a record. The first figure below illustrates how to access the Attachments tab. The second is an example of a record with an attachment.

Supported Functions

The following attachments functions are supported in the web interface, broken down by release:

Unsupported Functions

The following attachments functions are not supported in the web interface, broken down by release:

Comments

The Comments functionality in the web interface works similarly to the existing function in the Aptify Desktop client. All records in the web interface include a Comments tab available from the expanded drop-down menu (shown below), allowing users to add comments to records as needed.

 
Comments Tab

One difference to the Comments functionality in the Aptify web interface is a modification to the HTML feature. In the Aptify Desktop client this function is available as a separate tab. In Aptify, this function includes a View HTML button on the main toolbar of the Comments window to display the HTML code for the comment text. 

 
View HTML Button

Selecting the View HTML button enables users to display the contents of the Comments tab in an HTML format, allowing for editing in a separate window. 

Example View HTML Window

Note:

For comments that do not contain edited HTML, the View HTML window will not contain any tags or markers.

Wizards

The following are limitations or known issues related to wizards in this version.

  • Code-Based Wizards: Are not supported. All code-based wizards will need to be translated into metadata wizards for use in the Aptify web interface.
  • Show Step List: This option, which is used to include a step list on its left side that indicates each step in the wizard, is not supported.
  • Wizards Can Be Run From Anywhere: There are certain cases when running a wizard from a particular area of the system is not appropriate. For example, running a wizard that requires a set of records from the entity browser. This is controlled by the Run From option on Wizards records. However, this option is not supported through the web interface and wizards can be accessed from all options in Aptify (including Global search), no matter the options selected.
  • Run Prompted View: You must select one or more records. If your view has multiple pages, selecting all records on the first page will only run the wizard against the records on the first page. You have to run the wizard against the first page, then navigate to the following pages, select all records and run the wizard again.
  • General Import Wizard: As of Version 5.5.3, the General Import Wizard is available for use in importing data into Aptify. For more information on using the General Import Wizard, see the "Generic Import Wizard" section in the Administration Services chapter of the Aptify 5.5.1 Administration Guide.
