Before using the Application Designer, set up the development
environment and familiarize yourself with the workspace and with the
design guidelines.
Setting up the environment
Plan and prepare the development environment before you
start working with Application Designer.
Exploring the workspace
When you open an application in the Application Designer,
the Workspace tab opens, containing the layout
of the controls that make up the application. Within the workspace,
you can select individual controls to modify them and to position
new controls in the application user interface.
Design guidelines
Use the Application Designer and, if necessary, the application
XML files, with an appropriate design process to develop applications
that are easy and efficient to use.
Data validation
The system validates data to ensure that users are working
with the correct data. Data can be validated on the server-side or
the client-side.
Property configurations
The behavior and characteristics of various user interface
components can be determined by the values set as system properties
or by values set for individual controls. Filter for webclient in
the System Properties application to view and modify interface properties.
Modify properties for an individual control in the Application Designer.
