Configure CustomApps

Custom Applications are coded automations for the applications for which automation cannot be configured using Automation Studio directly.

 

Automation Studio allows adding these coded automations (DLLs) that are created by implementing the required product interfaces to be configured as a Custom Application.

The DLL must be built using .NET Framework 4.6 and in x86 mode.

 

To configure a custom application:

  1. In the Admin menu, click the  (Add Application) icon to add an application. The Add Application dialog box appears.

 

 

  1. In the Application Type list, select CustomApps.
  2. In the Application Name field, enter a desired name of the custom application you want to add. The name must not contain any special character or space.
  3. Click ADD. A message for successful addition of the application is displayed.
  4. Close the displayed message and enter the following details in the Application Properties pane. Mandatory fields are highlighted in a red box.
