Creating a new element

Creating a new application element (using a form as an example)

To create a new form — one of the basic elements of the application — go to the module Library, and then to the tab Forms. In the upper-right corner of the screen there is a button Add form, which starts the creation process.

After clicking the button, a window will open in which you need to fill in the basic data:

  • Form name — consistent with the naming convention (more in: Naming conventions for application elements),

  • Repository location — the place where the form will be saved,

  • Number of columns — set by default to 16; you can change it (more in: Editing pages),

  • Description — an optional field, helpful for documenting the form's function.

After confirming (button Add form) the editor will open with an empty form template in the tab Steps. Components can be added after going to the tab Application (1), and the form can be saved to the repository by clicking the button Save (2).

The process of creating the remaining application elements (such as composite components, scripts, or validators) is similar:

  1. Go to the appropriate tab in the module Library,

  2. Click the button Add,

  3. Fill in the configuration data,

  4. Confirm and proceed to editing the new element.
