Lesson 8: Application Tutorial

An InfoMaker application is a collection of related reports, forms, and pipelines. For example, the Contacts application that you create in this tutorial has:

A form to maintain data in the contact table
A report to list all contacts
A report to list only contacts that meet your criteria

The illustration represents an application called Contacts. At top is a Contacts button that connects to a window titled Contacts. The Contacts window has a menu bar with an Objects option that displays a drop down menu with options called Ad Hoc, By job, and Data. An icon on the menu bar is also labeled Ad Hoc, and it connects to a contact window. The contact window displays a report labeled contact grid _ with _ prompting. The grid has columns for ID, Last Name, First Name, and so on, and a row of data for each contact.
