This content provides an introduction to App Studio Maintain Data. It is intended for application developers who are responsible for planning the enterprise software environment and for creating Maintain Data applications.
This content describes WebFOCUS App Studio, a Windows®-based GUI development environment for creating WebFOCUS applications. App Studio provides innovative features and functions that simplify development, thereby allowing you to concentrate on interface design, business logic, and data manipulation. Features include data visualization, color exception reporting, intelligent drill downs, and the ability to generate HTML pages without writing code.
When your application accesses a data source, it needs to know how to interpret the data used in the application. Using App Studio, this self-paced training introduces you to WebFOCUS Metadata and gets you started with the most basic of metadata concepts. This course will give you the firm foundation to build upon for more advanced courses in metadata, reporting and application development.
This introductory course prepares developers for using App Studio, a Windows-based graphical user interface (GUI) development environment for creating WebFOCUS applications. This self-paced training gets you started with the fundamentals of report building concepts and techniques. This course gives you a firm foundation to build upon for more advanced courses in reporting and application development.
One of the ways in which you can combine content created in App Studio is in a document. A document is a series of pages that contains charts, reports, images, and more. These can be output in an online format such as HTML or an Analytic Dashboard, or in distributable and printable formats such as PDF or PowerPoint.
In App Studio, you use the Document canvas to create documents and Analytic Dashboards from which you can design reports, coordinate layouts, and distribute layouts that are made up of multiple reports and charts.
When generating an Esri map in App Studio, you have a choice of basemaps, which are background map images. The map data is superimposed on this image.
Basemaps that are not vector maps are pre-rendered image tiles. Vector basemaps are delivered from ArcGIS Online as vector tiles that are rendered on the client based on a style file that is delivered with the vector tiles.
This provides customization options not available with pre-rendered image tiles.
By default, the Reporting Server hosts and configures geographic boundaries for 58 World Administrative regions. You can use these files to generate Esri maps in App Studio.
However, if you have a second level license, you can map additional more detailed administrative regions down to the postal code level (where available) for approximately 250 countries. This is a paid service from Esri.
When generating an Esri map in App Studio, by default you get a set of map widgets on the map output.
When you run an Esri map, the default map widgets include a Table of Contents widget, a Selection Tools widget, and a Change Basemap widget.
Instead of using the default widgets, you can add controls to the HTML page and invoke IbComposer functions to perform the following map menu functions:
Turning on the Create Labels layer visualization for a point map enables you to specify a field name whose value you want to display for each point symbol. You can style the labels by changing the default font colors, sizes, styles, and angles. You can also specify a halo color in which to embed the labels.
By default, there are no labels displayed for each point.
In this example, the point layer has an image of a bicycle at each start station. We will configure labels to display with each of these points.
Hello, and welcome to this App Studio How-To video. Today we’re going to show you how to highlight areas of interest on your map by assigning each one a unique color.
Add the WebFOCUS request that provides the location dimension in the Requests and Data Sources panel. This request is a table that generates XML output and has a defined field named REGION that will be used to color the polygons.
