Applications (M-Files Admin)

You can manage vault-specific client and server applications via M-Files Admin. These applications allow you to modify and extend the behavior of your M-Files Desktop and M-Files Server. This way you can choose to give priority to the functions that are the most important for the efficiency of your organization.

Note: Creating the applications requires advanced programming skills. Instructions for the programming are available from the M-Files technical staff for a separate fee. For more documentation and sample applications, see the guide to M-Files UI Extensibility Framework.

Application types

The application can either be a client application or a server application.

Client applications run in M-Files client computers and can affect the behavior of M-Files Desktop.
Server applications run on the M-Files server computer, and can affect M-Files server behavior.

Installing the applications

Open the vault-specific Applications dialog by highlighting a document vault via the left-side tree view and by then selecting Action > Applications.
