Extended Attributes View (Packages)

AdminStudio 2023 | 25.0 | Application Manager (Home Tab)

The Application Manager Extended Attributes View displays the optional extended attributes associated with the package. To open a package’s Extended Attributes View, select the Extended Attributes node under that package in the package tree.

These attributes are dynamically populated based on an external Package Extended Attribute Description File (in XML format). You can specify the name and location of this file on the General tab of the Application Manager Options dialog box.

On the left side of the view, the name for each attribute is displayed; the right side displays the value for the attribute. These values are editable fields.

You can add extended attributes to the PS1 script template under Application Variables section. Each extended attribute that you add should be mentioned in the below format:

[string]$ApplicationName = '{ApplicationName}'

[string]$BusinessCriticality = '{BusinessCriticality}'

[string]$ApplicationType = '{ApplicationType}'

[string]$DivisionDepartment = '{DivisionDepartment}'

Value of these attributes set in UI will be now saved in script (Deploy-Application.ps1).

Note:While adding External Attributes to the PS1 script template should remove spaces or special characters.

If you click on the attribute name, you can either provide the value in the Extended Attribute Property dialog box (for text attributes) or browse for a file in a Browse dialog (for file attributes). For more information, see Extended Attribute Property Dialog Box.
