This video will introduce the SET CDN command.  CDN, or Continental Decimal Notation, provides an easy way to localize the format of your numeric data depending on its intended audience.
Like all set commands, when you create a procedure, such as a chart or report, in App Studio, you can enable CDN from the Set canvas.  To access the Set canvas, open the Procedure View panel, right-click a component, point to New, and click Set.
Click CDN and then click Add.  CDN is listed under Used Settings, and a list of available values is shown with the current value specified.  

This video introduces the Environments Tree Panel. You will learn how to access different types of WebFOCUS environments. You will also learn what types of environments exist, how to login to an environment, and how to customize your Environments Tree view.
The Environments Tree panel is the first panel you see when you open App Studio. By default, it is located on the left side of your screen.
The content in the Environments Tree panel is organized by nodes that you can expand to display content. 

JavaScript functions can be a great way to add extra functionality to your HTML pages.  One such example is the IbComposer setCalendarDatesRange function, which allows you to set the range of days for a target calendar, depending on a specified date in a source calendar.
The function includes the following arguments:
The name of the target calendar control
The start and end date for the range
Let’s look at an example.  As you can see here, this HTML page contains 2 calendar controls, with the IbComposer setCalendarDatesRange function already applied.

This video will introduce WebFOCUS support for Template Masters and Slide layouts in documents created in App Studio with a PPTX output format.  This will allow you to apply your formatting to PowerPoint output from within App Studio. 

App Studio Maintain Data creates web-based data maintenance applications for updating, adding, and deleting records in a data source.

Precision reports are a way to format report output to instantly populate forms.
This example will show how to automatically fill out some of the fields on this W-4 tax form to give some new employees a head start on their paperwork.  The data used in this tutorial comes from the wf_retail_lite sample database included with the product.

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. 

The goal of this video is to introduce the Metadata canvas. 

You can use the Metadata canvas to view or edit a data view that everyone can use over and over. 

Hello, and welcome to this App Studio How-To video, where we’ll show you how to set conditional styling on a row or field in a report using the Traffic Lights feature.
This feature lets you apply styling in the output when the field value meets criteria that you specify.
Use the Traffic Lights feature from the Reports tab…
…to create conditional styling that applies to the whole row.
Or, you can use the Traffic Lights feature from the Appearance tab…
…to create conditional styling that applies to column data fields alone. Let’s demonstrate this option.

You can bring your charts and reports together in an HTML page.  HTML pages provide numerous features, making them extremely flexible.  They can include reports, charts, forms, and interactive controls, and can be run in a web browser.
You create HTML pages in the HTML canvas.  To create an HTML page, access the HTML/Document wizard from the ribbon or Environments tree.   You can choose whether to use features such as Responsive Design or a color theme.
You can use the ribbon and panels in the HTML canvas to modify the HTML page.
