To override this we adjust Allowed Clients: to include EASA Client.

Allowed Clients: may be:

• EASA Client only
• Web Browser only
• both EASA Client and Web Browser

A User may choose which client is used in their Client Preferences page when both EASA Client and Web Browser are allowed.

When Allowed Clients: Web Browser, set EASAP Builder > Options > Display compatible for > Web Browser

If we set Download Only: YES, we transform the EASAP into a file storage and retrieval tool.

These 'file download' EASAPs can be useful for storing such files as:

• documents, e.g. design guides or product literature
• results from experiments or analysis performed outside of EASA

For Download Only: YES, an Author will complete the EASAP in the following steps:

1. Create the appropriate CATEGORY and
2. Using the ↑Files tab, create a folder called download/
3. Upload the files to be available for downloading into this folder

We do not need to do anything to the remaining three branches, USER INTERFACE, PROCESSES and OUTPUT.

Once we have completed the two steps described above, save the EASAP, test, document and publish it.

Once published, the EASAP will be presented like any other in the Application Library. However, when a User opens it, he or she will see a user interface for the application, instead they will see either:

1. A file opened in its associated application, if the download folder meets one of the following criteria:
   
   
   • contains only one file
   • contains an html file, which will be opened in a browser window and a directory starting with the same name as the html name
     for example demo.htm and demo_files
   • contains a file called app.htm or app.html, which will be opened in a browser window
     
     
2. A file selection window (shown below) when two or more files have been uploaded into the EASAP.
