FormMaker is the main tool you need to create WebMaker applications. You can start FormMaker from the XDE Project tab. You can use the FormMaker Page Structure link to jump straight to the Page Structure tab within FormMaker. This will either create a new blank form or select the first available form if forms already exist within this project. You can also select the FormMaker Application Map link to jump to the Application Map tab within WebMaker. This enables you to create your overall application map before selecting pages or controllers for further design steps. Whether you choose to use the Page Structure link or the Application Map link to launch FormMaker you can switch between the two tabs once you are within FormMaker. These different links for launching FormMaker are for convenience depending on the type of Designer using WebMaker and the type of application being designed. Within the Application Map tab you have a palette on the left that can be used to create the overall application map. The middle section is the canvas where you can paint the application map. The right hand panel is context-sensitive and will display information relevant to the component that is selected on the canvas. WebMaker Application Map
