Application Configuration and Customization

Application Configuration and Customization

Use the Application Editor to configure data models contained in modules, to export and import configurations, visually display the nodes related to a particular record, customize your Picklist values, and the left navigation bar.

The Application Editor has following tools for this purpose:

  • Module Editor - for creating and editing modules, and updating the data models of a module. For details, see the Creating and Editing Modules topic in the "User Guide."
  • Picklist Editor - for changing picklist values and color associations. For details, see the Configuring Picklists and Visual Correlation Settings topic in the "User Guide."
  • Navigation Editor - for modifying the navigation links and hierarchy in the left navigation bar. For details, see the Navigation Editor chapter.
  • Pre-Processing Rules - for helping uses define rules to detect and drop duplicate records based on predefined criteria before storing the incoming records in the database. For details, see the Pre-Processing Rules chapter.
  • Correlation Settings - for configure the display of the Visual Correlation widget. For details, see the Configuring Picklists and Visual Correlation Settings topic in the "User Guide."
  • Recommendation Engine - for predicting and assigning field values based on Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML). For details, see the Recommendation Engine chapter.
  • Export and Import Wizards - for exporting and importing configurations across environments. For details, see the Export and Import Wizards chapter.
Note

To edit these settings, users must be assigned a role that has at a minimum of 'Read' and 'Update' permissions on the "Application" module.
If you want a user to be able to add modules also, then those users must be assigned a role that has at a minimum of 'Read,' 'Create,' and 'Update' permissions on the "Application" module.
To delete picklists or navigation items, you must have 'Delete' permissions on the "Application" module.
These privileges must be granted carefully as unintended application modification could result in data loss.
