How to: Specify Application Settings as Overridable
In Application Designer, you create application definitions that can be re-used multiple times when creating an application system in System Designer. You might want to configure the application uses differently from one another in the application system. For example, you could set the Authentication setting equal to "Forms" for one application, and "Passport" for another.
Settings that can be configured differently between different application or endpoint uses must be marked as "Overridable" in the Settings and Constraints Editor. All settings are overridable by default.
Note
Even though all settings are marked as overridable by default, you cannot override certain settings that contain sensitive data. For more information about these settings, see Considerations for Implementing Applications.
To specify that settings are overridable
Select an application or endpoint in Application Designer.
Locate the desired setting in the Settings and Constraints Editor, either by navigating through the left pane of the editor, or using the Search feature.
For more information on using Search, see How to: Search for Settings.
Note
In some cases, you might have to add the resource before you can specify that the setting is overridable. For more information, see How to: Add Resources.
Select the Overridable check box to allow the setting to be overridden in System Designer.
Note
Settings that are not marked as Overridable in Application Designer cannot be modified in System Designer.
For more information about other settings attributes like "Null," "Use Default," and "Deployment," see Settings Attributes.
