To run an application, you must first create one or more callable Profound.js modules. See here for instructions on creating a callable module. Then, you must configure a route (a URL path) that will be used to call the module. To configure routes, right-click on your Profound.js module file or Rich Display File JSON file in the files Files Tree and select Properties:

 

On the File Properties dialog, you can configure 2 two different types of routes: 

  • An App Start Route. There can be only 1 one App Start Route in each workspace. This route runs a module when the URL specifies just the workspace name.

For a stateless Express program, also check the Express Route Box box and optionally select the desired HTTP method to respond to:

  • A Named Route. A workspace can contain any number of Named Routes. These routes run when the URL includes a path name, in addition to the workspace name. Named Routes can also be either stateful Rich Display File programs, or stateless Express programs. To set up a named route, check the Express Route box, uncheck the App Start Route box, select the desired HTTP method, and fill in the desired route path. Route paths must be unique within the workspace. For a stateful Rich Display File program, set the HTTP Method to 'get' and check the Rich Display App box.

If an App Start Route is configured, it can be launched in a browser tab by using the option Launch→Launch App in Browser Tab from Home section of the ribbon:
