In Design automation, your Forge App account will be the owner
of your app and activity.
A nickname
is a way to map a Forge App ClientId to a customized string. A nickname lets you create a friendly, easy-to-read string that can be used in place of the long Forge App ClientId.
For example, your Forge App ClientId is something hard to read like "YnhayiOjhgnsd&jsafh890ryehQW"
and you create a new app of DeleteWallsApp
with an alias test
. Now you can reference this DeleteWallsApp
app by YnhayiOjhgnsd&**afh890ryehQW.DeleteWallsApp+test
.
However, by mapping this Forge App ClientId "YnhayiOjhgnsd&jsafh890ryehQW"
to a nickname of YourNickname
, you can reference the app by using YourNickname.DeleteWallsApp+test
, more easily and nicely.
