An IDD application consists of an XML configuration file, resource bundles, help files, and other components. A complete IDD application can be imported or exported as a ZIP file containing all of these components.

The IDD Configuration Manager is designed to be used for creating and maintaining the configuration of an IDD application. It does not yet expose all of the available configuration options - some functionality must be configured manually by exporting and editing the XML configuration file directly, then re-importing the file back into the IDD Configuration Manager.
