Project Manager

The resources of a web application built with Application Designer are separated into so-called "application projects". With the Project Manager, you can create and remove application projects.

If you have larger projects and thus a high number of layouts and adapter classes, you can divide your development activities into several application projects.

This document covers the following topics:
