Studio Web User Guide
You can set an external context to your app. This is especially helpful when starting the app from within a robotic process automation (RPA) process, or if you want your app to have a particular behavior only in a certain context. You can set the external context in two ways: when debugging your app or after publishing your app.
If you want to test how your app works with an external context, you can do this while debugging the app.
-
Enable query parameters in your app:
-
Open a new or existing app.
-
In the Project Explorer, select your app.
-
In the Properties panel, select the Enable query parameters option.
-
-
Configure a control to reference your query parameter:
-
Select the Toolbox menu.
-
In the Display section, select Label and drag it into your app. The Properties panel opens.
-
In the Text field, select the Open resources for Text button.
-
Select Expression editor.
-
Add
App.QueryParam("name"), then select Save.
-
-
Debug your app and specify a query parameter:
-
Select Debug on cloud or Debug step-by-step to begin debugging your app. The Enter query parameter window opens.
-
In the String query parameter field, add a string, such as this placeholder:
name=john
-
name.
Once you deployed the app, you can set a query parameter at the end of the URL of the deployed app.
&uts=true part at the end of the URL, with an additional & symbol, as in the following example: &uts=true&name=john. The behavior is the same regardless of how you add the query parameter.
