in App Studio

For
instance, in the same way the following 4 apps are linked and therefore show
information about the same RIC,

how do you use the same mechanism so that 2 apps
could send to each other not only a RIC but also price, yield, etc. The first
app would be trading app and the second app would be a calculator for instance?

    You can do this in JET today through regular context passing that will go through color linking channels.

    For example:

    JET.contextChange([{RIC:"IBM.N",fields:{foo:"bar"}}]);

    Will give you a ContextChange event with the following data payload:

    [

    	{  

    		"IdentifierList": [  "RIC"  ],  

    		"FieldList": [  "foo"  ],  

    		"RIC": "IBM.N",  

    		"fields": {  "foo": "bar"  }  

    	}

    ]

    So you can send along the yield, price, etc for each RIC. The receiving Apps just need to know about these additional fields.
