Use the Extension in an eSpace

This product version has reached end of life and is no longer supported. Click here for the latest documentation.

All the extensions published in the Platform Server can be used by Service Studio developers to expand the functionality or extend the database model of their eSpaces.

To use an extension in your eSpace you must add this extension as a Reference . An eSpace reference is an element (Action, Entity, or Structure) exposed and implemented in a Producer eSpace or extension, but that can be invoked from another module, called a Consumer. Learn more about this topic in Service Studio Help , available in Service Studio or the OutSystems Community .

Add an extension reference to your eSpace

How to add an extension to an eSpace:

Launch Service Studio and open your eSpace.

Connect to the Platform Server where the Extension was published. Simply use the Select server operation in the File menu or Toolbar.

Launch the Add/Remove References window , available in the File menu or in the Toolbar, and select the extension that you want to use.

Select the actions, structures, or entities from this window and press the OK button.

Use the extension in your eSpace

After adding these references to your eSpace, they become available as follows:

The entities and structures are available in the eSpace tree in Entities and Structures folders, respectively.
The actions are available in the Tools tree under the Reference Actions folder. All actions with property Function set to Yes , are also available in the Referenced Functions folder, in Service Studio Expression editor .

To use these elements, simply drag and drop them as you'd normally do if they were owned by your eSpace.
