Configuring your Web Application with USoft Web Designer and CSS

You can configure your web application pages in USoft Web Designer.

Configuration is an umbrella term for all the activities that consist in adapting the application pages to your needs without having recourse to programming JavaScript code.

USoft tooling makes it as easy as possible for developers and analysts without formal training in coding to get as close as possible to the functionality they want to realize without programming, that is, by performing simpler actions such as dragging-and-dropping elements or selecting preset values from list views and dropdown boxes.

The boundary between configuration and coding is not clear-cut. Even untrained programmers should be able to script simple or frequently used behavior for a push button.

While coding JavaScript is generally seen as a programmer's job, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) was originally designed as a declarative technology that could be considered a configuration task. In practice, because the CSS layer becomes often very complex and is also intimately linked with JavaScript, it is now considered a technical task.
