Defining an Application Manifest

An Application Manifest defines all the settings and feature flags for an Application. Application Manifests are templates that simplify the creation of Applications. All the Applications assigned to a given Application Manifest inherit the settings, default values and so on defined in that Application Manifest.

Axonize provides a default Application Manifest. If a specific Application Manifest is not assigned to an Application, that Application automatically uses the settings in the default Application Manifest.

An instance can override the template for a specific setting. For example, if the Application has a Red color setting and the Application template has a Blue color setting, then the Application overrides the template, and the color setting will be Red.

After an Application Manifest is created via the Axonize API, you can assign it to a specific Application Manifest (template). For more details, see applicationTemplates.
