Sharing frames among applications lets you increase productivity and enforce standards.

For example, you might have a PartInfo frame that manipulates information about parts you purchase. You can make this frame available to your sales order staff, shipping staff, and stockroom staff, in three different applications—Purchasing, Shipping, and Inventory Control. By sharing the PartInfo frame among multiple applications, you can ensure that everyone in your organization interacts with the same frame. This way, if changes are made to the PartInfo frame in one application, these same changes are reflected in all three applications.
