Overview

You build Apps in Lianja App Builder visually using the Page Builder.

If you have not yet done so please read Understanding the Lianja Architecture and also Understanding ART to better understand this article.

An App consists of pages. Pages are made up of Sections. Form sections are made up of FormItems. We call these collectively "UI Elements" or "Visual Elements".

You adjust the appearance and behavior of each UI Element in the Attributes Tab of the App Inspector.

Pro Tip

Double click any of the Tabs in the App Inspector to detach it into its own floating window.
You can then drag it around the screen into a suitable position and use it without needing to select the Tab in the App Inspector.

The attributes available consist of some common ones as well as some specific to the UI Element being inspected.
