Application template

The application template (Application_template) is a function to backup and restore Hexabase applications. Application templates allow you to temporarily save a particular application environment or migrate it to a different workspace.

The application template contains all the configuration information about the application as well as the Item data. However, information about groups and users is not included, so be careful if you are using access keys related to groups.

Also, if the internal ID is accessed from front-end code, etc., it may not be available. The environment to be migrated using the template must be accessed using Display_id (display item id).
