Hi Nicolas
Thanks for your answer. There ist this fucntions used in the
CommonAppBarMenu: title="${applicationTitle}. On the same location where
the value of applicationTitle is defined the is another variable called
*ActiveApp* which probably contains the app name: accounting, ar, ac,
warehouse, etc.
What engine is used to preprocess those elements in the xml?
