Defining the Application

Application Type and File Selection

  • Template - This setting is used to choose the template files to be used by the generation engine to build the application.  The JumpStart product currently ships with several templates, but customers may create their own templates as well.
    • Standard - This template generates a standard desktop browser application.
    • Mobile - This template generates an application designed to operate more easily on a mobile device.
    • TinyMVC - This PHP template generates a standard desktop browser application running atop the TinyMVC PHP framework.
    • Input Capable Subfile - This desktop browser application uses an input capable subfile.
    • Webservice to do Autocomplete - this Universal Display File template provides customized auto-complete results for a textbox or combo box widget.
    • Webservice to load Dropdown Data - this Universal Display File template provides data for populating a combo-box or select-box widget.
    • Webservice to load Grid Data - this Universal Display File template provides data for populating a grid. Using this may be necessary when the DB-driven or handler-populated grids do not work for a particular set of physical files.
    • Webservice to load Chart Data JSON - this Universal Display File template provides JSON data for use in a Chart widget.
    • Webservice to load Chart Data XML - this Universal Display File template provides XML data for use in a Chart widget.
    • Webservice to perform file maintenance - this Universal Display File template allows you to call web services to perform file maintenance (CREATE, READ, UPDATE, DELETE) on a file.
    • PJS Webservice to do Autocomplete - this Profound.js template provides customized auto-complete results for a textbox or combo box widget.
    • PJS Webservice to load Grid Data - this Profound.js template provides data for populating a grid. Using this may be necessary when the DB-driven or handler-populated grids do not work for a particular set of physical files.
  • Database File - This is where you tell JumpStart what table you want your application to maintain.  Currently JumpStart can only target a single table or view.  The templates shipped with JumpStart use embedded SQL for database access.  You should not enter a logical file or index name here.  In normal circumstances, you should always point JumpStart to the actual table or an SQL view.  There is also a link next to this option to maintain the library list used by JumpStart.
