Web App Generator

You will need to know the local IP address for the deployed application if you want to access the app on the local network. If your server is configured to be publicly accessible on the internet, then you will need to find the public IP address of the server.

Local Network

Connect to the host computer that hosts the web app. Press the Start button and type in “cmd”. Select “cmd.exe” from the result list.

In the command prompt, type in “ipconfig” and press Enter.

Launch the web browser on your mobile device. Enter the IP address listed under “IPv4 Address”, and add the name of the folder containing the app, as shown in the URL bar of the picture below.

At this point, all users that have access to the local network will be able to use your application by entering this address.

Internet

Use Remote Desktop to log in to your server. Open a browser, type in “my ip”, and press Enter. The public IP address of the server will be displayed.

Switch to your personal device and open the browser. In the URL bar, enter the public IP address and add the name of the folder. Your site will now be accessible from the internet! The site below was accessed via the URL “http://23.97.64.229/northwind”.

The next release of Code On Time will include extended support for tabbed page layouts in apps with Touch UI.

If a data controller exposes multiple views of data, then each view will have a dedicated tab at the top of a page.

The view selector is also available in the context menu of the view.

The data presentation style options are available on the sidebar and in the context menu. The current options include List, Grid, and Map. Data Sheet, Chart and Calendar will become available soon.

The future releases will allow creating user-defined views of data with a dedicated style (List, Grid, Map, etc.), visible columns, sort expression,  and filters. Custom views will also be accessible via tab bar alongside the application defined views.

Master-detail pages will display child data views below the form views. If tab activators are specified, then a tab strip is also rendered to provide quick access to a subset of data starting with the first data row. View-specific “menu” button provides access to context menu options. Button “See All” allows working with an entire set of records.

If multiple tabbed master data views are defined on a page, then a dedicated tab-strip is rendered.

Touch UI works exactly in the same way on both mobile and desktop devices.

Here is a complex layout of a page with multiple master data views.

The release is expected to go out in June of 2014.
