Welcome to the user guide for creating your first application in Flow Connect.

In this guide, you will be taken through the steps of creating your application, beginning with creating it in the Hub, then configuring it in the Designer, and ending with running your application in a Client.

Let's begin your journey into application development.

Prerequisite 1: The organization must have at least one .

Prerequisite 2: You need to have the Windows Designer installed, to download go to .

Create in the Hub

Create an application package

  1. Navigate to Apps.

  2. Click Create Package.

  3. Name your package "Your name" application package.

  4. Click on the icon to select an icon and a color for the package.

  5. Click on Add developers and select the developer group Access group for my first app. Prerequisite: The organization must have at least one .

  6. Click Save.

Create an application

  • Click on the application package you just created.

  • Click New and select Application.

  • Name your application "Your name" first application.

  • Click on the icon to select an icon and a color for the application.

  • Click Save.

Open in the Designer

  1. The Flow Connect Designer will now be launched.

Configure the application in the Designer

  1. Right mouse button click on the Start ring and select Add sequence arrow.

  2. Right mouse button click again directly and add a User Step.

  3. Double-click on the User step to open it for configuration. We are going to add two controls: Header and Static Text.

    1. Drag and drop the control Header (top left) into the middle section.

    2. In Appearance - Text write: Hello {userId}

    3. Drag and drop the control Static Text (second from the top left) into the middle section, below the Header control.

    4. In Appearance - Text write: This is your first application!

    5. Click OK to close the User step

  4. Right mouse button click on the User step and select Add sequence arrow (same action as in step 1).

  5. Right mouse button click again directly and add an End Step.

  6. You have now created a complete application! Click the Play button in the top right corner to run the application in the Windows client.

Run in the Client

  1. If the Windows client is not installed, you will be prompted to install it. Otherwise, the client will simply open.

  2. If you haven't signed into the Windows client already, you'll be prompted to sign in.

  3. The client will now display the controls you configured in the User step, showing "Hello," followed by your username.

  4. Click Next.

  5. Since the application only consists of one user step, you have now reached the end of the application.

  6. Click Exit followed by Quit to end the application.

Click on the app, or the three-dot menu on your application and select Open in Designer, to open the Designer. Prerequisite: You need to have the Windows Designer installed, to download go to .
