Default application

The default application is the web application that USoft delivers automatically on the basis of data structure and rules defined in USoft Definer. The default application has the following components:

•A default login page.

•A default menu that gives access to forms for data manipulation. There is an access point and a form for each of the tables in your data model.

•For each table in your data model, a default info page or form that lets users search, insert, update and delete data in a specific table.

•Default lookup buttons, lookup pages, and related pages that let users navigate from data in one table to other data in a related table.

You can have different strategies with regard to the default application:

•You can decide to develop the entire finished application from the default application.

•You can decide to use the default application for quick prototyping in a development setting only.

•You can decide to use the default application only as a basis for user interfaces that do not need sophisticated layout and behavior, for example, only for pages intended for data maintenance by system administrators.

•Finally, it is also possible to ignore the default application completely. It is an optional feature. If you have this strategy, you develop web pages from scratch and you are likely to realize data interaction by inserting Web Designer data source objects in your pages.

To get a first version of the default application:

1.	First, for content, you need to define at least a few domains, tables, columns and relationships in USoft Definer (see the USoft Definer Guide for details).

2.	Then, you need to set up a development environment for web applications. Follow the steps in the Getting Started section.

3.	As a final step, open Web Designer and publish the model.
