Working with Applications
About this chapter
You can bundle reports, forms, and data pipelines into a package to create
a reporting and database-maintenance application. This chapter describes
how to create an InfoMaker application.
Contents
About applications
When you have completed reports, forms, or data pipelines, you can
bundle them in an executable file to create a reporting and database-
maintenance application. The reports, forms, and pipelines in an
application are usually related by topic, but they need not be. You can
bundle any reports, forms, and pipelines you want.
Where you create an
application
In InfoMaker, you create applications using a wizard accessed in the
Library painter. The wizard prompts you for the reports, forms, and
pipelines you want to include and for other aspects of the application such
as the icon to be used to represent the application.
No queries
InfoMaker applications do not include queries, which also display in the
Library painter.
