  • You can also check the Linked Entities that will be affected in the respective tab.
• Finally, you can choose the copy option to copy the current application. A pop-up appears where you can define the application name of the copied app.

Run App

• While viewing an app in the App Designer, you can easily run it! Click on the Play button on the top right of your screen and the quick add form of this app is populated.
• In case there is no quick add form, a respective message appears and you are directed to step 2, in User forms to create a new quick add form.

See the Table

Users can apply the following actions in the table sequential applications:

• Access the table (based on the access rights that are specified by the designer)
• Print or export the table results
• Apply filters, categorize and search within each table
• Access, edit or delete each record
• View records in table or graph views
• In the graph view, pie, bar, or stack charts can be easily created with real-time data and the desired filtering.

• In order to view the User Apps you created and published through App Designer, go to the menu on the left side of your screen, and select the Packages Icon. A list of all the published apps will be displayed here under the category you chose in Step 1 of App designer. In case no Category is chosen, the app is shown below Custom Apps.
• Select the one you wish to access and it will open in a new tab.

By clicking on the “+” icon you can create a new entry of this app. (In order to see the “+” icon, you should have checked first the respective option in the Configuration step of App Designer). A new tab opens with the form that was created in the App Designer. Fill in the fields and click on Save to add this entry.

See the Record

In a sequential app, the record looks as below:

• In the process record, you will see all the steps, as created in the App designer
• Each step is actually a task with a form. Users can complete each step/task either from the process by clicking on the complete button, or by the task they received in their calendar.

• • When completing the step, the form will be editable, so the user can add information.
  • Once the step is completed, the user can go to the next one.
  • Users that have access to this process can navigate through the completed steps in the process to see the data input, whereas the next steps are not clickable.

Since the App is process enabled and linked with a workflow it will have State (Opened, Scheduled, Running, etc.) and also some more Tabs in the left-side menu, such as attachments, and workflow audit.
