One-Click App from Object Type

The gap between "I defined a data type" and "I have a working app to manage that data" is normally filled by a lot of manual work: building list views, creating forms, wiring navigation, setting up detail pages, configuring the layout of each screen.

With one-click app scaffolding, that gap closes automatically.

Define the Data, Get the App

When you create a new object type and click "Generate app," the platform builds a complete working application structure for that type:

• A list view showing all records with search, sorting, and column controls
• A detail page with a read view of individual records and an edit form
• A create form for adding new records
• Navigation entries linking all of these together under the appropriate section

The scaffolded app is immediately functional. You can navigate to it, create records, view them, edit them. The data type you defined is now a manageable entity in your application.

Why This Exists

Starting from scratch is motivating when you're building something unique. For the standard CRUD operations that every business object needs, it's just overhead.

Every object type needs the same basic scaffolding. Rather than build it manually every time, the platform generates it from the data definition it already has. It knows the fields, their types, and their constraints — it has everything it needs to generate appropriate views.

Starting Point, Not Ending Point

The scaffolded app is a starting point. Immediately after generation, every part of it is customizable. Adjust the column set in the list view. Change the layout of the detail page. Add related records panels. Configure workflow-specific buttons.

The scaffold provides the structure; your customizations make it specific to your workflow. You skip the blank-page problem and start from something that already works.

Multiple Objects, One App

If your application needs several object types — customers, orders, products — scaffold each one, then compose them into a single app by linking the navigation and adding related records panels where appropriate.

The one-click approach for each type combined with the composition tools produces a complete multi-entity app faster than the scaffold for a single entity would have taken using traditional approaches.
