Importing an App


Knowledge

Joget Apps are packaged files that contain Form, Datalist, Userview and Process definitions.

Apps can be exported from another Joget installation, or downloaded from the Joget Marketplace.

Importing a new app into an environment with existing App ID will result in the creation of a new App Version.

You may also choose to retain or override environment variables and plugin default properties by checking on the checkboxes.

Example:-

  1. App with ID "leaveSystem" with App Version 2 (Process Version 10) exists in the environment.
  2. Importing an App with the same App ID will result in the creation of App with ID "leaveSystem" with App Version 3 (and Process Version 11).





To import an app, log in to the App Center as admin or a user with "admin role" (See Managing Users for more information).

Click on the Import App button (see Figure 1).

You can also import apps from the Design App dashboard (the URL is https://localhost:8080/jw/web/desktop/apps).

In the Import App popup window, select the app ".jwa" file from your hard disk folder  and click on Upload button.

Click on the Show Advanced Options hyperlink to manage the import options, as follows:

  • Override environment variables.
  • Override plugin default properties.
  • Do not import participant mapping for existing participants.
  • Do not import tool mapping for existing tools.
  • Do not import plugins.
  • Do not import Form Data.
