Three Ways of Creating an Application

  • Start with a sample application and customize it
  • Create a new application:
    • Import your Object and data from a spreadsheet
  • Create a new application:
    • Use the Wizard to start “from scratch”

Creating an Application from a Sample Application

  • Select from many pre-built applications in the Marketplace
    • Software AG owned source of pre-built applications
    • Download for use with cloud tenants only
    • Number of the available application may vary from time to time

  • Hint:
  • Type a Field Label carefully (because it is used to create the field name)
    • The label can change - the internal name never does
