Application 
An application is the top-level interaction component in the Mobile Application Studio (MAS). In the completed user interface it represents the runtime application itself. One application object is required for each application developed.
An application is a collection of business components. The assigned business components appear as the top-level application menus in the finished application. When you select a menu, the menu expands to display its options. These options represent the tile sets assigned to the business component.

Designing an application involves:
· Assigning business components to the application and specifying captions for the business component containers
The business component container captions serve as the menu names that appear in the finished application.
Linking hyperlink sources in tiles with the desired hyperlink targets in tile sets when data is to be transferred across business components
The Mobile Sales application contains several business components, each of which appears as a top-level menu when the application is started. When you select the Employees menu, the menu expands to display the options generated from the tile sets assigned to it.
