This screen is the central screen for constructing and configuring projects within XDE. It is shown when selecting a project from the project list screen, but is also accessible by selecting the Project tab from any of the other XDE pages. XDE Project page screen shot The text boxes at the top of the page allow us to easily rename this project, or to edit the description for it. Simply enter the required values and click the Save button to update the information. The Show Advanced Options link reveals the remainder of the page, which shows all the runtime patterns that currently exist in the project, grouped by the layers in which they occur. As your project grows, you will see more entries appearing on this screen. The features available to configure what is included in your project are described later in the documentation. The project screen also provides access to a number of other parts of the studio via the buttons on the top.
The two FormMaker buttons are only applicable to MVC projects for designing Web Applications, and opens the studio component focussed on web application development. This is detailed in the FormMaker user guide The Runtime Dashboard is used to configure and monitor deployed applications. This is also very useful during application development as it allows the flow of data through the application to be seen and any problems identified. For more details, please refer to the Administration Guide. The Deploy and Publication option is discussed in the next couple of sections to follow. The Import Service option is available under the Advanced Options link and discussed in the next section.
