Use

The BEx Web Application Designer is a desktop application for creating Web applications with BI Content. Using the BEx Web Application Designer, you can create an HTML page containing BI Content such as various tables, charts, or maps. This HTML page (Web application) forms the basis of Web applications with complex interaction, as well as iViews.

The Command Wizard (see Commands ) and Pattern Wizard are integral parts of the Web Application Designer. Using the command wizard, you can easily generate commands from the Web Design API and include them in your Web template. Using the Pattern Wizard, you can configure BEx patterns to a certain extent and tailor them to meet your needs.

Features

The initial view of the BEx Web Application Designer has four different screen areas in addition to the menu and toolbars .

For more information about creating Web applications, see Creating Web Applications with the BEx Web Application Designer . For more information about creating Web applications, see Creating Web Applications .

You can adjust the appearance of the Web Application Designer to meet your requirements. The object on which you are working, namely the Web template, is handled differently from the tools and help windows with which you are working.

  • You can show and hide the individual screen areas and toolbars using the View menu option.
  • You can reposition the three toolbars and the Web Items and Properties windows as required. Depending on where you position the object, it is either anchored or appears as a hovering toolbox.
  • Since the Web Application Designer is a Multiple Document Interface Application (MDI Application), you can open and manage different windows with Web templates simultaneously. You can use the Window menu option to arrange the windows differently: cascading (overlapping), vertical, or horizontal.
