The Applications module makes a
comfortable environment for the development of portal applications
available to you – knowing a programming language is not a
requirement. All Intrexx applications are based completely off of XML,
which can be converted into an output format of your choice via an XSL
transformation.
The structure of an application will be graphically displayed in the Applications
module. This allows you to have the hierarchy of pages and data groups
in view at all times.
Data will be administered in data groups and entered to the portal
database with the Intrexx business logic. Edit and view elements will
be placed on individual pages of an application via Drag &
Drop. In edit elements, data will be entered from the browser, and with
the help of a button action, saved to a connected data field. View
elements that are connected to a data field will display the values
saved within the data field.
Application elements can be moved from the area Elements to the workspace
of the Applications module easily with the mouse.
An assistant will help you to select the appropriate control and data
types and will lead you through the configuration of their properties.
The properties of an element will be defined in the Properties
dialog, which you can reach at any time via the context menu.
The properties dialog may also be opened by double-clicking on the
element.
If you open the Applications module from the
module bar in the Intrexx Portal Manager, the Application Manager will
open, in which a template for a new application can be selected and all
existing portal applications can be administered.
