Hello Application Studio

Waaaaaaaazup people.

When I first started learning how to code in Java / C Sharp the first ever program i developed was called Hello World. It was a simple program which printed the text "Hello World".

Today I am going to show you how easy it is to create your first report in App studio and print the text " Hello App Studio" :)

Ok. First things first let's log on to the Best Practices Repository.




 Let's first briefly go through the different sections of App Studio.

Under Repository Explorer You have >

Report Catalog -  Contains all the reports you create

Database Structure - Contains the connection to the Datasource

Accessories - Contains variables and other custom objects



Click on the Report Catalog Tab > Locate the Reports Folder

Right Click on the Reports folder > New > Report

Let's call this Hello App Studio


Leave the defaults and press OK.'



When you create the report notice on the top you are in View Mode. 

As you should expect you see a blank report because we have not added any content to our report. Let's click on the Design option.


Oooh. Now doesn't that look familiar. Isn't that Excel ??

Well It's not exactly excel but App studio is a Excel like editor. And if you are a pro at Excel you are going to love this :)

Ok lets create set a heading for the report I am going to call this "My First App Studio Report" and a text Hello App Studio!!!



Ok Lets preview our report now.

Tadaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa



I know it doesn't look that pretty but we will learn how to do cool stuff and make it look good in the upcoming posts. Stay tuned.....
