Visual Screen Designer
Get to know Appway’s Screen Editor.
Whether you are creating an account opening solution for your bank,
implementing a support system for your telephone company, or designing
a web page showing where your band tours next, you're creating Screens.
Screens are one of the most important parts of any business application
or web site because Screens are where the interaction with the people
who use your solution occurs. It is therefore of tremendous importance
to make it as easy as possible to create beautiful, usable Screens in
short time.
Appway's Screen Editor is designed for exactly this purpose.  
It’s Easy!
Create advanced, standards-compliant HTML Forms and Screens using a
wide array of components. You know what you want on your Screen. Don’t
worry about how to actually implement your ideas - we’ve already done
that for you. All you have to do is paint your ideas into the Screen.
You supply the ideas, we supply the solution. 
Running in your browser.
There’s no need to install any software on anyone’s computer. Appway
runs inside your browser. Deploy updates throughout your company
without lifting a finger. Today, you put the finishing touches on some
changes. Tomorrow, everyone in your company is up and running on the
latest version of your Business Application. 
Drag. Drop. Create.
Simply drag the elements you need into the screen. Preview. Save. That’s all there is to it. 
En Español? Nihongo desu ka?
Appway is multilingual. It speaks English, French, Spanish,
Japanese, Chinese... You name it. Thanks to its Unicode-based display
and storage mechanism, even two-byte languages can easily be handled. 
Display Data.
Using Appway’s Screen Components, getting your data on Screen – and
allowing the user to edit it – is easy as pie. Actually, easier than
pie. No recipe required! 
Test and Preview.
Now that you’ve created your Screen, you want to find out how it
looks with actual data inside. But entering data every time you’ve made
a change just to see whether everything works and looks nice seems like
a waste of time. No sweat – using Appway’s Test Data, you only have to
do that once. Enter data, store it into test sets, see exactly how your
Screens look and behave in different situations. 
Tab Indices.
Using the Screen Editor’s handy tab index preview feature, you’ll
know exactly how users will navigate through your Forms when they press
the “tab” key. 
Don’t Worry.
Appway’s fully versioned XML-based back end ensures that you will
never lose data. Make changes without worrying. Test, deploy. Didn’t
quite work out as expected? Easily revert to an earlier version. 
Collaborate.
You’re working in a team. Which is scattered all over the world.
You’re in Bangkok, waiting for your flight. You want to implement this
crazy new idea you’ve had. But wait, isn’t Jessica currently working on
that Screen? No worries; Appway keeps track of who is working on what
and makes sure you’ll never overwrite somebody else’s changes. Want
Jessica to let you edit the Screen he’s currently working on? Use
Appway’s built-in messaging system to drop him a line. 
Oh, and Ajax.
Many of Appway’s Screen Components support state changes without
full server requests. You’ll create dynamic, Ajax-based screens even if
you still think Ajax is a soccer team. Ajax is part of the model; no
coding is required.
