Build a Pre-Configured Digitise Apps Client

Before you can build a pre-configured Digitise Apps Client on any Platform except the Windows Desktop Platform, you must enter your Build System registration details in the App Studio Settings, if you haven't already done so.

 

To configure and request a build of the Client:

Click the Request Build button in the Builds group on the Ribbon's Publish tab.

Choose Pre-configured Client from the menu displayed and then choose the Platform you want to build your Client for.

If you choose Windows Universal, the Build System will build two versions of the Client – one to run on Windows desktops and tablets and a second, separate version, to run on Windows phones. You can ignore the Windows phone version, as Windows phones are no longer supported.

 

The Build … Pre-configured Client dialog box will be displayed for your chosen Platform, for example:

This dialog allows you to specify the Digitise Apps Client configuration settings, including the App Server connection details. For the Apple and Universal Windows Platforms you also need to specify a code-signing Certificate to use.

The available options are divided over a number of tabs. Not all the options are relevant to each Platform and only those tabs relevant to the current Platform will be displayed. For example, the Certificates tab is only displayed for the Apple and Universal Windows Platforms.

The following options are available:

 

When you have finished configuring the Build options, you can then build your pre-configured Digitise Apps Client.

If you don't want to build the Client just yet, click or tap the Save button to save your current configuration settings and then choose OK to close the dialog.

If you are ready to build your Client click on the Build button instead.

Click OK to continue when asked to confirm your build request or Cancel to abandon this build.

 

 

You can now install your pre-configured Digitise Apps Client to your users' devices.
