When you create a new Model-Driven App, you are presented with two options:
- Classic App Designer
- Modern App Designer (Preview)
Let’s go through it step by step to explore the functionalities of Modern App Designer.
-
Create a new model driven app – choose Modern app designer (preview).
-
Add a New Page
To add a new table, Classic App Designer uses site map to configure navigation items. In Modern App Designer, instead of using a site map, a table can be added easily by adding a new page - click on Add page from left-hand side menu and choose a page type:- Table based view and form – it lets you add one or more tables including associated forms and views.
- Dashboard – it lets you add dashboards to the application.
- Custom (preview) – it lets you create a custom page where you can drag and drop components into the application.
-
Selecting Tables
After selecting a page type, if you select Table based view and form – next screen will ask to choose one or more tables, you can also choose if you want to show that in navigation or not.
-
Managing Forms and views
To manage which forms and views needs to be displayed - click on Contact Form from left-hand side menu, then click on manage forms on the right-hand side menu and select the forms, do the same for managing views.
In conclusion, Modern App Designer has made it easier to design a Model-Driven App. But this is just a preview, more features will be introduced in the future. Until then, let’s keep exploring this to simplify developing Model-Driven Apps.
