Manage applications
Applications, layouts and processes can be managed in their respective Managers. They can be accessed in the modules "Applications", "Layouts" and "Processes" via the main menu "File" (e.g. File / New Application").
Application Manager
When you switch to the "Applications" module in the Portal Manager, the Application Manager is opened and you can select a suitable template. If the "Applications" module is already opened, you can also access the templates via the main menu item "File/New application".
New applications are generally created on the basis of templates.
Existing applications which were published earlier can be opened via the Application Manager.
New application
If you click on "Application" in the left part of the dialog, the "Empty Application" and "Basic Application" templates will appear on the right. These two templates are included in Intrexx and are also available offline. Click on "Create" to create a new application based on the selected template. Clicking on the "More templates" link loads more templates. You will reach the same template list that you reach by clicking on "Templates" in the left pane.
