This is configurable on both the Side Bar and Command Bar menu types.

Overview​

There are three principle Rapid Platform Application:

  1. Explorer
  2. Designer
  3. Workflow

Do you wish to put a menu item in a sidebar that navigates to one of these applications.

OR

You may wish to configure a menu button, which when clicked opens (say) a particular workflow diagram.

There can be other reasons, but if the question is - Is it possible configure a menu button to open an app? The answer is YES.

How to configure a Menu button to "Open a Rapid App"​

  1. Press the Edit button on the desired menu button
  2. App - This is the mandatory field and allows you to specify which app you wish to point here.

Please note: You can only call RAPID applications here. It is not meant for external application.

Presently, there are three principle apps in RAPID:

  1. Explorer
  2. Designer
  3. Workflow

The below table provides the keyword that needs to be entered in the App field to call respective RAPID applications

Please note that you need to enter the Keywords exactly as matching here. However, these keywords are not case sensitive.

  1. Sub-path - This field helps you provide partial URL that will allow the user to navigate to a specific page in the application.

For example - Imagine you wish to create a menu button that when pressed, navigates to: https://test.rapidplatform.com/rapidplatform/documentation/compoza/blueprint/1/modeler

To achieve this, you need to fill:

Workflow in the App field

blueprint/1/modeller in the Sub-path field

Hence, in the Sub-path, you only need to provide the portion of the URL as seen after the application keyword.
