24.5.3 Including or Excluding Build Options

Specify Include to enable a component and include it with the application. Specify Exclude to disable a component and exclude it from the application.

Build options have two possible values: Include and Exclude. If you specify an attribute as being included, then the Application Express engine considers it part of the application definition at runtime. Conversely, if you specify an attribute as being excluded, then the Application Express engine treats it as if it did not exist.

To include or exclude a build option:

1. On the Workspace home page, click the App Builder icon.
2. Select an application.
3. On the Application home page, click Shared Components.
4. Under Application Logic, click Build Options.
   The Build Options page appears.
5. Select a build option name.
   The Create/Edit Build Option page appears.
6. 
   
7. For Status, select either:
   • Include - Include this feature or component. Associated application components are enabled and included with the application.
   • Exclude - Do not include this feature or component. Associated application components are disabled and excluded from the application.
8. Edit any additional attributes as needed.
   To learn more about an attribute, see field-level Help.
9. To save your changes, click Apply Changes.
