File

The File element defines the file type. Add one File element for each new file type.

Syntax

<File>
  <DynamicProperties>
    <DynamicProperty/>
    <DynamicPropertyGroup/>
  </DynamicProperties>
  <Items>
    <Item/>
  </Items>
</File>

Attributes

Table 1. File element attributes
Attribute	Options
`extension`	File extension.
`isManaged`	For `<File>` elements that are children of `<Form>` and `<Database>` elements only. Set to `true` or `false`; default is `false`. Set to `true` if the type corresponds to managed form (to generate application code using records features like queries). If managed, the records in the form are enabled by default, otherwise they cannot be used for Application Modeling.
`orderRecords`	For `<File>` elements that are children of `<BusinessRecord>` or `<Form>` elements. Set to `true` or `false`; default is `false`. Set to `true` to enable record ordering. For more information, see Order records in the Business Records diagram.

Child elements

The File element may contain the following child elements:

One or more DynamicProperty and DynamicPropertyGroup elements, within one DynamicProperties element.
One or more Item elements, within one Items element.
