Composite Application properties
Use the Properties portlet to view and edit the properties of a composite application.
Application properties include the application name, category, description, theme, owner, creation date and time, revision date and time, and source template. Each instance of a composite application derives its properties from the template that defines the application. When you edit the properties of a composite application, you change the properties of that application instance. Other instances of the application are not affected, and the template is not affected. From the drop-down menu of an application page, click Edit Application Properties to display the properties of the application. Then click Edit to change application properties that are editable. The application name and description are self-explanatory; the other properties require special consideration.
Category
The category identifies the name of the application catalog where the composite application is listed. We can change the application category by selecting another category from the list. When you change the category of the application, you change the catalog where the application is listed.
Theme
The theme defines the navigation, appearance, and layout of the pages of the composite application, including fonts, colors, and images. The application template specifies the theme for application pages and the policy that controls theme navigation style. We can view the name of the theme as an application property, but we cannot edit it.
Owner
If you are the owner of the composite application, we can delegate ownership of the application to another user by clicking Change Owner. You select the new application owner from the Directory Search window, which can be configured to let you filter the search using different directories. The individual you select to be the new owner of the application must be assigned a portal access role type that permits application creation and management permissions, including delegation of application ownership.
Tip: We can also change the owner of an application using the membership portlet of the application: From the page menu of the application, click Assign Application Members. When you change the application owner using the Members portlet, the Directory Search window allows you select a name from the application membership list only.
Titles and descriptions for other languages
To specify foreign-language text for the application name (title) and description, click I want to set titles and descriptions for other languages. From the list of locales, find the language we need and click the Edit icon. In the page Set title and description for locale, specify the New title and New description in the selected language. Repeat this procedure for each foreign-language in which you want the application name and description to be displayed.
For more information about working with the properties of an application, see the Help topics that are available after you select Edit Application Properties from the menu of the application page.
