[My Applications] > [Create New Application] > Create Using Wizard

__TBD: in progress__

  1. Enter the Application Name
  2. Enter the first Object name
  3. Click [Define Fields]
  4. Define up to 10 fields, to get started. (You can add more later.) For each field, specify:
    • Field Label - The label users will see
      The internal field name is created for you. (You can modify it if you like.)
    • Field Type - Pick one of the many many choices
  5. Follow the prompts to add additional information, depending on the field type.
  6. When done defining fields, click [Save]

To add additional objects, click [Add an Object] and repeat the process.

Next, establish relationships between the application objects:

  1. Click [Add a Relationship]
  2. Under Relationships select the objects to fill in the blanks:
    Between __{baseObject}__ and __{relatedObject}__
  3. Specify the Relationship Type:
    • One to Many - One {baseObject} record can be related to many {relatedObject} records
      For example: One Order can have many OrderItems.
    • Many to Many - One {baseObject} record can be related to many {relatedObject} records, and each of the {relatedObject} records can be related to many {baseObject} records
      For example: One Order can have many Tags, and one Tag can be applied to many Orders.
    The objects are now connected by Lookup fields.
    (They'll have names like "related_to_Orders". )

When you're done, create the application:

  1. Click [Create this Application]
  2. Click [Open Application] to run it
