The Application Modeler is a graphical Web Dynpro tool of the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio. It provides support when designing and implementing Web Dynpro applications. The perspective view that displays the Application Modeler is called the Diagram View. This is where the individual Web Dynpro elements are graphically displayed. You can create the elements of a Web Dynpro application using graphical means. You can also use the Application Modeler to define the navigation between the views or the view areas within a view set. For this purpose, plugs an navigation links are defined.
