Integrate an external application into your project

To make an application or site outside of TeamForge available to your users seamlessly from inside your TeamForge project, bring it in as an integrated application.

If the application you want to use is not yet available for your project, ask your site administrator to set it up.

You can use as many integrated applications as you wish, after your site administrator has made them available.

  1. Click PROJECT ADMIN in the project navigation bar.
  2. On the Project Admin Menu, click Project Toolbar. Click INTEGRATED APPLICATIONS tab that displays the list of all currently integrated applications in the project.
  3. Click Add.
  4. On the Add Integrated Applications page, select the desired application and click Configure and Add .
    1. If your site administrator has made it possible, specify a prefix for the resources created by the application you are setting up. A prefix enables TeamForge to provide handy links between objects managed by this application and other TeamForge objects. For example, if you are bringing in a blogging application:
      • You can connect a blog post with a TeamForge artifact using a special link called an "association."
      • For each blog post, you can give readers a simplified address, known as a "go URL."
      Note: For project-level associations and go URLs the application's prefix is permanent after you save it.
    2. Set any other configuration parameters you need and save your changes.
      • Click Save to return to the Configure Integrated Application page.
      • Click Save and Add More to keep adding integrated applications.
An icon for the integrated application is added to your project navigation bar. Clicking it launches the application in the main TeamForge project window.
