Applications module
The
Applications module provides you with a
user-friendly environment for developing portal applications
– knowing a programming language is not a
requirement. All Intrexx applications are based completely on 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 here.
This allows you to have the hierarchy of pages and data groups
in view at all times.
Data will be administrated in
data groups and
saved to the portal
database with the Intrexx business logic.
Edit and view elements can
be placed on each page 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 that field.
Application elements can be moved from the area
Elements to the
workspace
of the
Applications module easily with the mouse.
A wizard 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 where a template for a new application can be selected and all
existing portal applications can be administrated.
