So that application templates can be loaded and correctly processed by Intrexx, a JSON file must be created and configured.
The JSON file must be saved in the same directory as the application templates.
Any number of application templates can be managed using a JSON file.
Central specifications in the JSON file concern the texts and icons that will be displayed in Intrexx.
In addition, there is information about the language, the versioning and the storage location of the application templates, among other things.
Simplified, the structure of the JSON file looks like this:
JSON file
The following is an example of a JSON file that is needed to make your custom application templates available in Intrexx.
