Create a new database, give it a name and define its columns, and turn the database ON [demo +]
2.INPUT/UPLOAD data
Input data - Click the database and start entering records to the database [demo +]
Upload data - Or enter a number of records by importing CSV (comma separated version) file [demo +]
Edit, delete data - Select and edit a record, and then save it. Or select and delete a record, or delete a number records each time [demo +]
Query data - Add one more column to the database, and use update query to assign a value to the new field for all records (e.g. create a column to mark whether a book has been lent out; initially all books are in the shelf). Then run a select query and save it for repetitive use (e.g. define a query to tell what books has been lent out; and then save the query). Even the records are changed later, the saved query can return the results reflecting the current state of the records (e.g. 2 books are marked "lent" and when running the saved query, 2 records are returned; then 1 more book is marked "lent" and using the same query, 3 book records are returned) [demo +]
3.SHARE databases
Assign permission - Assign different permissions to another user (e.g. assign "Browse", "Query" and "Add" permissions to another user for book database), and then copy the link to the database and send it the user [demo +]
Share and collaborate - Having got the link to the database, the user with the permissions, after successful login, can start browsing the data, entering new records, querying the data and even run the query saved by the database owner. The user will not be able to execute any actions without relevant permissions [demo +]

4.BUILDAppages
Want to turn the database into an app? The simplest way is to Build Appage for the database. Appages are just a set of HTML files where tag-like controls are used to tell ourDB how to interpret and present the data inside the database [demo +]
5.RUN the apps
The app built from the database "Build Appage" function inherits the basic features like records browsing, querying, adding/editing/deleting [demo +]
For more information, go to the example of building a web app with Appages
Click any one of the pre-built web apps on the right, and the app is just right there (e.g. let's activate the skeleton app ourApp) [demo +]
THEN BASED ON WEB-APP...
3.CUSTOMIZE databases/Appages
Simple customization - Using the pre-built web app as a base, change the basic settings of the app e.g. change the app name or change the header title. For most pre-built web apps, owners can click "Edit Basic Info..." or "Edit Color/Style..." to further customize the apps to fit their specific needs [demo +]
Advanced customization - change database structure - Sometimes more complicated changes are necessary. For example, the columns "Public" and "Private" are no longer necessary and so we delete them; instead, we need another column "App Pic" to hold a theme picture for the app [demo +]
Advanced customization - change Appage - To match with the changes in a database, most of the time Appages have to be changed, too. In this example, we want to replace the home page content with the theme picture - download the Appage HTML file, open it with any text editor, modify the corresponding Appage controls, save it (preferably give it a meaningful name), and then upload it to ourDB again. Then run the app to show the changes [demo +]
4.RUN the new apps
Help on using Appage - The above are just an example. To know more about Appage and how to use it, refer to the online help [demo +]
