WebMaker applications run on XPlatform, which is the common web services platform for Hyfinity applications. The runtime Dashboard is the main tool used for running and debugging WebMaker applications. You can start the Dashboard from the top menu within FormMaker. When you first start the Dashboard it will attempt to start the runtime server that will host your deployed applications. To run the deployed application use the Run Application button on the top menu of the Dashboard. You can also start the Dashboard from the Project tab within XDE.
Dashboard is highly configurable and we will cover some of the features in more detail later. Typically, Dashboard is deployed in Development and Production modes. In development mode, all message flows are logged and tracked, starting from the browser, through to remote services and back again. You can organise and view these message flows from within the Dashboard tab. Click the Show Development & Platform Logs button to see the message flows. You can expand and shrink different messages to follow the flow through the runtime platform. This should provide full visibility of the application as it executes. You can click the View in RuleMaker link to open the Rules that were executing at that point in time. We will cover Rules in more detail later. We will also cover more detailed aspects of the Dashboard, including configuration of the logging parameters later in this document.
