## 12.2. Defining and Using Custom Applications

Follows these steps to create and use custom applications:

1. Create custom application files in a scripting language or in Java that defines the application. For a script-based application, this will include back-end logic for executing the application as well as a resource archive for defining the front-end user interface.

2. Create a new application for the custom application files by selecting (New) > Custom Application on the Home/My Applications or Administration/Shared Applications page (if accessible). Once you have filled in the dialog box and clicked OK, the new custom application you set up will be saved as an `EKM Application` type object and placed in the folder you specified.

3. Click on an application to execute it. The dialog box that is defined for the application will open, allowing you to input values.
