Saving the Application

In this topic

Terms

Application Number: Every application is required to have a three-digit number associated with it to maintain compatibility with earlier versions of ScanTools. If you do not put in a number, ScanTools selects the next available number in sequence after the currently used application number.

Concept

An application cannot be saved until it contains a document and an output record. In addition, if you try to save before defining any fields, you get an error message. However, you can ignore the error message as you see in the following procedure.

Procedure

  1. On the Application menu, click Save or Save As.
  2. Because we have not defined any output fields, an error message appears asking if you want to save. Click Yes to continue. The Application Settings dialog box appears.
  3. In the Save As dialog box, type in Form 223033 Practice for the title. ScanTools automatically assigns the number. Click OK. The Save Application dialog box appears.

The Save Application dialog box allows you to see other applications that are saved. This helps you choose an appropriate name for your application.

  1. Make any changes to the file name, then click OK to save the application.

NOTE: The file name for the application has a .StxAppDef sds suffix (e.g. Form 223022 Practice.StxAppDef).
