External Application Development Template |
Note: Updated Nov. 21, 2013 to provide the new External Application Configuration form (See Web Documentation below) and added a new functions to the JSON String storage section to comply with v12.0.062 feature to eliminate cross site scripting vulnerabilities.
External Applications that run within the FirstClass Apps section of the new FirstClass Web client can be hosted on any web server.
These are just standard web applications that run within an iframe inside the FirstClass web application itself.
These external applications can have access to information about the current user running the application and can also store and retrieve application specific information that is unique to each user running the application.
A development template has been created to assist developers to incorporate these two powerful features into their own external applications.
