Configure mApp Solution Conditions

Use the mApp Conditions window to configure conditions that control which definitions in a mApp Solution are imported into a target system.

When you configure conditions for a mApp Solution definition, you create a list of system definitions or Features (defined in mApp Properties). A mApp Solution definition is only imported into a target system if the definition listed in the condition is imported/overwritten, or if the Feature it belongs to is imported.

You can configure conditions for:

  • Business Objects/Fields, Forms, Grids, Relationships, Form Arrangements
  • CSM Items (Automation Processes, One-Step Actions, Dashboards, Saved Searches, etc.)
  • Security Groups and Roles

Good to know:

  • If you add definitions to a mApp Solution using the References window, a condition is automatically set up to only import the definition into a target system if the item using it is also imported (or already exists in the target system).

To configure mApp Solution Conditions:

  1. Use one of these methods to open the mApp Conditions window:
    • Select the Import Based on Condition check box, and then click the Ellipses button Ellipses Button in the following areas:
      • Business Object Properties window
      • Relationship Properties window
      • Field Properties window

        Business Objects and Fields can only have conditions based on Features. Other items can have conditions based on other definitions being imported.

    • Select the Import Based on Condition check box, and then click the Ellipses button Ellipses Button in the mApp Options window in the following areas:
      • Form Editor
      • Grid Editor
      • Form Arrangement Editor
      • Security Groups and Roles
      • CSM Item Managers

  2. Add a definition to the list of conditions:
    1. Click Add to open a menu of definitions organized by type (example: Business Object). The list shows all definitions included in the mApp Solution, along with all defined Features (except when adding conditions for Fields and Business Objects, which can only have conditions based on Features).
    2. Hover over a category to open a menu of specific definitions.
    3. Select a definition to add it to the list.
  3. Add additional definitions to the list as necessary.

    Click Remove to remove a selected definition from the list. Use the Up/Down arrow to change the order of the selected definitions.

  4. Select OK.
