Tutorial: Add Objects to the AMB Project

Add Global Objects

Here we add a global data view object and a global user rule object to our project. We supply the data view definition, but you create the user rule definition later in this tutorial.

1. From the AppMaster Builder Project Explorer, expand the BLDRAPPL application.
2. Right-click GLOBAL; then select Add > Data View from the context menu.
3. On the list of existing data views, click APSUPD. This populates the Name field.
4. Click OK. This returns you to the Project Explorer.
5. Right-click GLOBAL; then select Add > User Rule from the context menu.
6. In the Name field, type CALCINV. This is the name of the user rule we will create later in the tutorial. The user rule calculates inventory.
7. Click OK.

Add a program

We need to add a third program to the project that we will define using the AMB Online Express feature.

1. From the AppMaster Builder Project Explorer, right-click the BLDRAPPL application; then select Add > Online Express Program from the context menu.
2. In the Name field, type BLDRUPD; then click OK.

The Project Explorer shows the new BLDRUPD program.

Add a screen

We need to create and associate a screen with the new BLDRUPD program.

1. From the AppMaster Builder Project Explorer, right-click the BLDRUPD program; then select Add > Screen from the context menu.
2. In the Name field, type BLDRCU; then click OK.
3. On the Project Explorer, expand the BLDRUPD program to see the added BLDRCU screen.
