Creating a New Application
Overview
This guide walks you through creating a new application from the Apps page. You’ll need the appropriate permissions to see and use the Create App option.
Prerequisites
- You are signed in and have a valid session.
- Your account has permission to create applications (this is exposed by the system as a “Create App” action when allowed). If you don’t see the Create App button, contact your administrator.
Steps to Create a New Application
- Go to the Apps page.
- If you have permission, select the “Create App” button.
- In the dialog, enter a name for your new application. Names can be up to 30 characters.
- Select “create app” to submit.
- On success, you will be redirected to your new application’s page automatically.
After Creation
- The new application appears in your Apps list.
- You can now begin configuring the app (for example, tables, adding forms, reports, users, or settings specific to the application).
Troubleshooting
- Create App button not visible: Your role may not include app creation. Contact an Org Admin or Super Admin.
- Submission fails: Ensure the name field is populated and try again. If problems persist, sign out and sign back in, then retry.
- Redirect didn’t happen: Refresh the browser. If the app was created successfully, it should appear in your Apps list.
Conclusion
Creating a new application is initiated from the Apps page when your account has the required permission. Provide a valid name, submit, and you’ll be routed directly into your new app to start building.
