Configure the Application Builder

1. Configure the Application Builder by specifying configuration options as follows:
   • Enable smart naming
     Select this option so that the Application Builder will automatically convert table names to English captions, for example employees table will be shown as a grid with the title "List of Employees". Fields like task_name will be converted to column headings like "Task Name"
   • Autoincremented Primary Keys
     Select this option to specify that the database tables contain key fields that are autoincremented. The Application Builder will then hide the key fields from the record maintenance forms since users do not need to enter key values.
   • Use single keyword field for text and memo fields on search forms
     Select this option to generate a single search field that searches against all the test and memo fields on the tables/grids. If this option is deselected, the Application Builder creates a search section with multiple search fields - one search field for each text or memo field in the database table.
   • Publish the site after Application Builder completes creating pages
     Specify that you want to publish the site as soon as the Application Builder creates all necessary pages. This way you don't have to worry about forgetting to generate/publish some of the files needed for the application to run.
   • Use Popup Date Picker for date input field
     Select this option so that fields that are detected as being date fields are created with a corresponding Date Picker component. The Date Picker component allows the user to easily specify date values.
   • Internationalized
     Select this option when developing a multilingual application so that the locale can be switched at run-time
   • Save builder options
     Select this option to save current builder settings so that they will be selected by default during next builder runs.
