Whether you're creating an account opening solution for your bank, implementing a support system for your telephone company, or designing a webpage showing your rock band's next tour dates, you're creating screens. Screens are important to any business application or website because they are where the interaction with users occurs. Appway's visual Screen Editor is designed to easily create elegant and functionning screens in a short time.
From your browser
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 onto the screen. You supply the ideas, we supply the solution.
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 are putting the finishing touches to some changes. Tomorrow, everyone in your company is running the latest version of your business application.
Test and Preview
Now that you’ve created a 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 and see exactly how your screens look and behave in different situations.
Drag. Drop. Create.
Simply drag the elements that you need onto 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, it can even easily handle two-byte languages.
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 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, someone is already 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 your colleague to let you edit the screen she’s currently working on? Use Appway’s built-in messaging system to drop her 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 for you, Ajax is primarily a soccer team. Ajax is part of the model; no coding is required.
