3. Fill out the following basic information:
   1. Name: The name of the application exactly as it is used in the AMT-COBOL Developer Studio. This name is also used in the environment variable %APPNAME%, which refers to the application directory in which the application has been generated.
   2. Description: A free to choose description for the application.
   3. Application Kind: This should be set to the COBOL and the Mainframe Operating System from which the application was migrated for an AMT application.
      
      

      The application kind can also be found in the AMT Developer Studio under Application Origin in the Application options of the application.

      
      
4. Then, in the Properties tab of this dialog, fill out the following application settings:
   1. Application base path: The complete path to the base folder of the application. The following environment variables can also be used:
      1. %SYSROOT% — the system basepath as entered in the base setup.
      2. %APPNAME% — the name of the application as entered in the name field of this window.
         
   2. Userinterface webaddress: The web address of the application website. It is advised to include the trailing slash when pointing to the client folder of the application. This field cannot be left empty, even if only AMT Screens will be used.
   3. Autostart application: When enabled, this application will autostart in the Application Center. Only one application can start automatically.
   4. Admin account: The Login Account to use for this application.
   5. Database setting: Select the database to use for this application.
