The applicationSwitcher component is used to create a switcher that enables users to navigate from one application to another by choosing an option from a list and clicking the Go button.
Like a globalButton component, an applicationSwitcher component is placed inside a globalButtonBar component. The switcher dropdown list is created by using a series of option components as indexed children of applicationSwitcher.
The default label is 'Switch Applications'. Use the title attribute to specify another label, if you desire.
The label displays either below or next to the options dropdown list box. If global buttons are used in the same globalButtonBar component as the application switcher, then the label displays below the dropdown list. If no global buttons are used, then the label displays next to the list box.
Whether an applicationSwitcher is used inside or outside of a form, the parameters of the generated URL for the Go button are the "switchApp" event, "goto" type, value of the requested option, and application switcher name (as the source parameter).
You must set a "switchApp" event handler for the applicationSwitcher component to function properly when a user clicks the Go button.
