Introduction to Sample App
Sample reference app built to demonstrate the process of connecting a third party ReST API to Flexiva and using App Studio to produce a working web and mobile application.
The Flexiva line-of-business (LoB) application is connected to a Representational State Transfer (ReST) Application Programming Interface (API) hosted at restdb.io to allow you to use forms to create, read, update & delete sample footballer data freely available in the public domain.
The forms designed for this sample application all have F1 help and users can click the links to navigate to this series of web pages specifically written to reflect the sample forms.
This approach demonstrates how Flexiva customers can implement their own business-specific F1 help and user-guides for their own custom forms.
The footballer industry forms can be opened from the navigation bar to the left of the application. There is a separate group entitled "Football Industry":
Beneath this group are 3 lookup forms:
All of the custom buttons, activity metrics and navigation bar were designed by a non-developer in the Flexiva App Studio. Each of the custom buttons and activity metrics are linked to ReST API's to display data specific to the business for the end-user community.
The visibility of all custom functionality can be turned on and off for each user, thus allowing for specific user groups to access or update/delete only information for which they are authorised.
The Search... text box is linked to a specific ReST API which permits searching over the entire company specific data set. Users can quickly lookup records which drop down in a list for subsequent drill-down.
The Add menu allows end-users to add new records for forms connected to the CRUD ReST API's.
The History menu shows the list of all forms which were recently opened. End-users can click on each item to re-open that specific form record.
