This page explains the basic process for creating an application in MIStudio.
An application is a workspace inside an MIStudio project.
Applications are used to organize screens, graphics, controls, and related application behavior. A project may contain one application or multiple applications, depending on how the system is organized.
When a new application is created, MIStudio opens the application workspace, including the Design Editor and Logic Editor.
Create an application when you need a new screen, workspace, dashboard, or organized area inside a project.
For example, separate applications may be used for:
Use a name that describes what the application contains.
Good application names are short, clear, and easy to recognize.
Examples:
Avoid names that are vague or difficult to understand later. It is also best to avoid spaces or special characters in application names unless your MIStudio version specifically supports them.
After creating an application, the next step is usually to add graphics.
Graphics are the visual components used to build the application screen. These may include labels, boxes, meters, indicators, buttons, charts, or other display elements.
See MIStudio Design Editor for an overview of the available graphics groups.
