App Designer Basic Considerations

There are a lot of objects that can be in a project that aren't listed ing the "Development" Tab. The reason for this is that you can move objects with App Designer that you can't edit with app designer. They are made part of the project, but aren't editable. These objects sit on the "Upgrade" tab.

A prime example is content References and folders.

These are great to have in the project so that when you move it around you don't have to keep re-registering components, but can be bad if the parent folders aren’t there in the target environment etc etc…

Things to watch for:

Menus

Content References

Permission Lists

Folders

PeopleCode not pertinent to your project (it by definition shouldn’t be in your project!)

Closing:

Always check the "Upgrade" Tab on the project explorer to make sure you're not moving stuff that doesn’t need to be moved.
