What is an integrated application?

An integrated application is a stand-alone application that can seamlessly integrate into any CollabNet TeamForge project.

Note: The ability to integrate external applications relies on an experimental framework that is still in "alpha" status. Certain features may not be fully implemented and others may not work exactly as expected. You can help make it better by posting your feedback on the TeamForge community forum.

You can use integrated applications to incorporate these types of applications into your CollabNet TeamForge project:

Third party applications
Internally developed applications
Integrations developed using the CollabNet TeamForge SOAP APIs
External websites

CollabNet TeamForge site administrators can register site-wide integrated applications that project administrators can opt to use in their projects.

When you add an integrated application to your project, an icon is added to your project navigation bar. Clicking the icon displays the integrated application in the main CollabNet TeamForge project window.

CollabNet TeamForge site-administrators can register site-wide integrated applications that project administrators can opt to use across projects.

Site administrators or users with site-wide roles with the administration permissions for integrated applications can enable/disable integrated applications.

Tip: Disabling an integrated application restricts it from being added to projects. However, disabling an integrated application does not affect the projects where the integrated application might already be in use.

After your site administrator registers an integrated application on the site level, on adding it to your project, an icon is added to your project navigation bar. Clicking the icon displays the integrated application in the main CollabNet TeamForge project window.

Note: You can register and integrate as many applications per project as you wish. However, because each integrated application adds an icon to the project navigation bar, creating a large number of integrated applications can cause horizontal scrolling.
