# Develop handler class

You can use a handler on an application or a form, depending on the handler type.

For a handler, a class is required. To develop this class, extend one of these classes:

- DAWApplicationHandler - Extend this class to develop an application handler.
- DAWFormHandler - Extend this class to develop a form handler.

**Prerequisite**: Develop the extension of the DAWApplicationHandler class or DAWFormHandler class in the AOT before you start the steps.

### Steps

1. Click **Mobility design**.
2. Click **Handlers**.
3. In the list, find and select the desired record.
4. Click **Edit**.
5. In the **Class name** field, enter the name of the applicable class extension for the DAWApplicationHandler class or DAWFormHandler class.
6. In the **Handler type** field, select an option.
7. Close the page.

> [!NOTE]
> **Notes**
> 
> If you deploy (export/import) an application as built in Mobility studio, make sure the related handler classes are deployed as well. You can do so with a Microsoft Dynamics Lifecycle Services project.
