Speaking of application...
The platform allows users to open any type of application, such as: Word, Excel, browsers, as well as ERPs, such as Protheus, EMS, Logix.
In order for the platform to allow access to several applications, they must be previously registered and parametrized in Apps.
The first step to use applications within the platform is to define the information for the adapter that will be required for running the application and its command line for execution. In the second step, the application parameters are defined.
The definition of these parameters is required for the platform to send information that allows access to the application, such as user and password, work directory definition, etc.
