Create New - Other
The Create New Other tab page is used to create miscellaneous files for use by Windows and web projects. These include Web Business Process objects, empty DataFlex source files, and text files.
These components are never directly added to your current project.
New components may be created by creating a new file based on a template. If you choose to create your component by running a wizard, the wizard will guide you through this process.
If you choose to create a component by selecting a wizard, a dialog will appear asking you to enter the following:
Object Name
This is only required for Business Process objects.
- Select an object name for the component.
- It is recommended that all object names are prefixed with an “o”.
- If you omit the “o”, the Studio will ask if you would like to add this. This is recommended but not required.
Directory Path
The directory path determines where the new component file will be saved. Normally, this should be your AppSrc directory (the default choice) or a subdirectory under the AppSrc directory.
File Name
Enter the file name for the new component. If this is a Business Process object, by default, this name will be the name of the object with the “o” prefix removed. If you do not provide a file extension, an extension appropriate for this component will be added.
Note: The Studio only supports file and folder name characters using the standard ASCII character set (ASCII characters 32-127).
