The App Designer includes a canvas onto which you drag and drop objects to design the app, behavior or workflow. Once objects are placed on the page, they can be moved or manipulated. To change the app, page or object properties (e.g., style, navigation, and behavior), select the object on the canvas and modify the attributes in the Properties panel.
The App Designer consists of four views:
•Layout (
) - The Layout view is where you design the layout of the user interface for the app.
•Mobile (
) - The Mobile view is where you can optimize the app design for viewing on a phone or tablet.
•Behavior (
) - The Behavior view is where you add app intelligence or actions based on user input such as calculations, validations, showing/hiding objects, sending data or performing lookups.
•Workflow (
) - The Workflow view is where you build the process which will route your app between stakeholders. This is also where you will set up notifications, reminders, and escalations based on the process points.
The following are the main navigation options in the App Designer:
•To switch between views, click Layout, Mobile, Behavior, or Workflow on the toolbar. |

•The menu bar includes File, Edit, Format, View and Help menus regardless of view (Layout, Behavior, or Workflow). To see a complete breakdown of all menu bar options, see the App Designer Menu Options Reference topic. |
