applications are a method of viewing
data about your company's resources you
can set them up to get a broad overview
or see the vital statistics of a
particular area or item or even start
with the wide view and drill down into
the details you want to see this video
will show you the bare minimum of
creating an application while later
videos will go into more detail about
how to fill it with data and information
to create an application click the new
application command this takes you to
the template selection dashboard these
templates only affect the initial design
of the application and are useful to
reduce time spent designing or when
creating multiple similar apps selecting
or deselecting these categories can help
filter the templates down to the one you
want as can the search bar up top to
continue select the template you wish to
use alternatively you could select the
applications blade this escapes the
template selection and automatically
selects a blank template for you either
way the new app blade opens here you can
add a name a description
and an icon
you can also assign a category to keep
it in as well as a default theme light
or dark
that will affect any new pages that you
create click the Save button to save the
new application to run the app navigate
to the chosen category and select the
new app which will always open the apps
landing page there isn't much here
naturally since we are using the blank
app template to close it click the close
button in the top right hand corner to
edit the app including its properties
select the pencil icon from here you'll
be able to see and edit the pages of the
app and perform administration tasks via
these commands both of which will be
explained in other videos clicking on
the properties command allows you to
edit any of the details from when you
created the app except for the template
you can also select a different landing
page which will affect which page is
displayed whenever you run the app this
has been how to create an application in
app designer thank you for watching this
video and I hope it's helped
