Introduction

Take a one-step-at-a-time approach to design a simple data-driven lookup form.

This section details a step-by-step approach to building a small starter application with a single data-driven lookup form.

The first section will get you up and running with a skeletal app, followed by more comprehensive steps to connect data, design forms and publish your app.

This is a good place to start to understand how to use App Studio and the configurators.

You should allow 30 minutes to work through this three-step beginners guide.

Prerequisites

You should have signed up for the free trial, be logged in as a designer, and have read the first few chapters in the knowledge base.

You should also have tested how the sample app works in order to understand the intrinsic CRUD mechanisms that can be built with the App Studio configurators.

Step 1

The first step is to build a skeletal, or minimal, app comprising a lookup form and a navigation bar group. Click here for step 1.
