Promoting Module Properties for Visibility at the Application Level
Module properties in an application module are visible and applicable only to the module in which they were created. They are internal to the application module and are not available at the application level.
To promote a module property to the application level:
- Procedure
- In
Project Explorer, fully expand the application and double-click
Properties under
Package Unit.
This opens the Properties editor in the right pane which displays both application properties as well as the module properties.
- Expand the application module name, select the module property, and double-click its value column ([default]) to reveal the edit buttons.
- Click the
button to promote the module property to the application level and save the application.
The property should appear under Application. Also, the value of the original module property changes color to blue and enclosed in %% indicating that the property has been promoted. The property is visible at the application level.To revert the promotion, double-click the [default] column and click the
button. This removes the mapping of the promoted application property from its source module property but does not delete the promoted property appearing under Application. Make sure to manually delete the promoted property under Application in order to clean up unwanted properties.
If you edit a module property on this page, its color changes to blue indicating that the value of this property was overridden.
Note: Whenever you promote any properties of a particular profile, either set that profile as default or promote the same property in the default profile so that you can modify it at runtime.
