This page explains the basic process for creating an application in MIStudio.

An application is a workspace inside a MIStudio project. Applications are used to organize screens, graphics, data connections, logic, and user interface behavior.

A project may contain one application or multiple applications, depending on how the system is organized.

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:

• Main dashboard views
• Equipment status screens
• Chart or trend displays
• Operator controls
• Data source examples
• Customer-specific screens

• Open the MIStudio project.
• Choose the option to create a new application.
• Enter an application name.
• Open the new application workspace.
• Add graphics or controls to the application.
• Configure properties and connections as needed.
• Save the project.

Use a name that describes what the application contains.

Good application names are short, clear, and easy to recognize.

Examples:

• MainDashboard
• EquipmentStatus
• ProductionOverview
• AlarmDisplay
• OperatorControls
