For the most common configuration customization tasks that every customer and OEM partner will want to consider see Installation Tasks.
API
The The frevvo Data API enables programmatic access to the all resources and data stored in the serverfrevvo server. The API provides a simple protocol for viewing and managing resources such as forms, applications, schemas, etc. OEM partners as well as end user customers can use the API to extend the features and provide tighter integration with other applications.
...
VAR and OEM partners can brand frevvo with their own company images and look. This is accomplished via web frevvo web application branding properties.
...
The configuration properties follow a simple property name=value syntax. Follow these steps to convert configuration parameters from previous releases to properties in the frevvo-config.properties file.
- Stop if frevvo if it is running
- Navigate to <frevvo-home>/tomcat/conf directory.
Edit the frevvo-config.properties file.
- The Parameter name becomes the property name.
- Add an equal sign.
- Add the value after the equal sign.
- Repeat this for all custom parameters.
- Save the file.
- Restart frevvo.
Consider the frevvo.menu.bar property. If added to the frevvo-config.properties file, with a value of false, prevents the menu bar from being rendered. Any of the menu items (Downloads,Templates, Help, Docs, Forum, Contact) can be removed from the menu bar via configuration properties. If all of the menu items are disabled, the menu bar should be removed.
...
Notice that several of the parameters use Url templates. For example, frevvo.help.url references a help file named designer.xsl that is located in the directory <frevvo-home>\tomcat\webapps\frevvo\WEB-INF\xsl\main\help. You may wish to bundle up a replacement help file and store your replacement file in that same directory. In that case you will keep the templates #{servletContext.contextPath}${servlet.path}/static that are part of the default path and append your own help file name. It can be an html file, myAppHelp.html. Or if your help is an external file you can replace the entire default value #{servletContext.contextPath}${servlet.path}/static/help/designer with a Url such has http://mycompany/myapp/help.html. Refer to Installation Tasks for the steps to replace the file after parameters in designer.xsl have been editied.
...
You can use the frevvo.page.title context parameter in the frevvo.xml file to change the HTML prefixes of the titles of all frevvo pages. The Preview Page in the designer will display with value of the the frevvo.page. title parameter - <browser name>. For example, to change the HTML page prefix to a company name, follow the steps below:
- Ensure that is that frevvo is not running.
- Navigate to <frevvo-home>\tomcat\conf. Open the frevvo-config.properties file with a text editor.
- Add the frevvo.page.title property with your company name as the value.
...
4. Save the file and restart restart frevvo.
Customizing Runtime Messages and Labels in the Designers
You can modify the text of runtime messages and customize the labels in the Form/workflow designers by changing string name/value pairs in the default file found in the directory <frevvo home>\tomcat\webapps\frevvo. You can customize the Form designer and most labels (but not all) in the workflow designer.
The English version of the modified strings appear on the UI once is frevvo is restarted.
For example, if you wanted to:
- Change the text of the "Access denied. Authentication required" message that the user sees when accessing a form that requires logging into frevvo (Public in tenant).
- Customize the labels of the Palette, Custom, Properties and Data Sources sections of the Forms designer.
The default file contains all of the runtime and designer strings that can be customized. Both requirements listed above can be accomplished by modifying this file.
Follow these steps:

Notice that the strings on the left side of the '=' have spaces escaped with the '\' character. This is needed so do not remove that. The escape character is not needed on the right side of the '='. Enter the text that you want on the right side of the '='
Code Block # Error messages Access\ Denied.\ Authentication\ required.= Please Sign into frevvo
To change the labels in the Forms designer, locate the Form Designer toolbox section of the file. Enter the labels that you want to display to the right of the '='
Code Block # Form Designer Toolbox Palette=Palette Controls Custom=My Custom Controls Properties=Control Properties Data\ Sources=Schemas Drag\ and\ drop\ controls\ from\ the\ form\ into\ the\ header\ above.\ You\ can\ then\ re-use\ them\ in\ other\ forms.= Drop\ Submit\ buttons\ from\ the\ palette\ to\ add\ to\ the\ form.= Drop\ controls\ from\ the\ palette\ to\ add\ to\ the\ form.= Drag\ and\ drop\ controls\ from\ the\ palette\ into\ the\ form.= Drag\ and\ drop\ controls\ from\ the\ palette\ or\ from\ the\ form.=
