EXPORTING AN APPLICATION SKILLS PRACTICE

In this exercise, you’ll export your VFM application as a zip file. You should also make sure
to complete the following steps before exporting.

1. Check the security summary of your application to make sure every object has
appropriate security set on it. No objects should have no security or a single named
user listed.
2. Check for missing precedents. If there are any missing from your application, make
sure to add them. When you add a missing precedent, run another check to make
sure the newly added object doesn’t have further missing precedents.
3. Export the application. Give the file a name. If there are any errors, open the export
log and correct any problems. Make sure to download the created zip file so you can
take your work with you to a different environment.

CHECKING THE SECURITY SUMMARY

You can check the security summary using gear icon at the top right under Security
Summary. Make sure that all of your objects have at least Administrator and Viewer
privileges, while some other objects may have more security too.
CHECK FOR MISSING PRECEDENTS
Also check for missing precedents under the gear icon. If you have any missing precedents,
either add them to the application, or modify the objects to remove the dependency. Make
sure to check again after you add any missing precedents, because those new objects
could have additional missing precedents.
