Create an application

Before you start

• Applications and the app menu

Create an application so people have a menu to open in App space. Beezr gives you three ways to begin. Pick by what you already have: a spreadsheet, a ready-made template, or nothing yet.

Choose a starting path

1. In the left rail, click New application. The Create New Application page opens with three cards.
2. Click the card that fits.

Start from a Spreadsheet reads an Excel workbook and builds the application from it.
Start from a Template opens the Templates Center.
Start from Blank opens the App builder.

Start from Blank	You are designing the data yourself	The App builder opens, empty

Tip from a Beezr Consultant

On My applications, the New application button skips this page and opens the App builder directly. Use it when you already know you want a blank start.

Build a blank application

This path opens the App builder, where you can create modules as you go.

1. Click Start from Blank. The App builder opens with the title New application.
2. Type a Name, for example Equipment requests. This is the only required field.
3. Click Add first group and type a group name, for example Requests. Press Enter.
4. In the module list that opens, tick the modules to show under the group. If the module does not exist yet, click Create module.
5. Click Done to close the list.
6. Turn on Default app if people should land here first.
7. Click Save.

Beezr returns to My applications and shows “{name} saved” at the bottom of the screen. The new application is active and ready to open.

If you left a group empty, Beezr leaves it out when it saves and says so in the same message.

What if I do not have any modules yet?

Create them from the group’s module list with Create module. Beezr asks for a name and adds the new module to the group when you click Create and add. The details of that drawer are in The App builder. Or create modules first on the Modules page.

What did I get?

An application with a name, a menu and the modules you chose. Open it from its card on My applications to see how it looks in App space. Next, organise the menu with groups.
