About ViewApp and derived templates

You begin working with a ViewApp by creating a derived template from the $ViewApp base template in the Template folder of the System Platform IDE. After creating a derived template from the $ViewApp template, you can begin editing your ViewApp with the ViewApp Editor.

Unlike other objects that are created from templates, you cannot create and edit an instance of a ViewApp. All of your editing is done in the derived template. An instance is created automatically when you assign the derived ViewApp template to a ViewEngine or WebViewEngine.

Before creating a ViewApp, you should have created the screen profiles and layouts that will be integrated into your ViewApp.

• Screen Profile Editor, see About screen profiles

• Layout Editor, see AppFramework layouts
