Extended Attributes View (Packages)

AdminStudio 2021 R2 | 22.0 | 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 in read-only fields, from which you can highlight and copy text, or, in the case of file links, launch the linked file. The file location displayed represents the location from which the file was originally imported; the file is actually stored within the Application Catalog and extracted into a temp directory when you click on the file link. This temp directory is purged when Application Manager closes, as long as the file is not locked by another application or process.

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).
