Introduction
The Smart App Builder application is a master tool with which several dynamic applications can be created 
with the required customizations in a seamless fashion. The key advantage of this application is that the 
essential ERP applications can be constructed by the end-users using a simple drag and drop functionality 
and it doesn't require any programming knowledge.

Objects deployment
Once an object is created and all the required settings are made to it, it has to be marked with a Deploy 
status, so that it will be considered for execution.
To deploy the object, we need to build the object. When an object is builded, a table will be created at 
the backend and all the records will be moved to it, which makes it accessible by the application.
Follow the below steps to build and deploy the object.
Smart App Builder™
9
 Build Action
Once an object is created and required settings are made to it. Click on the Build button from the 
top right, so that a table will be created at the back end in which all the records inserted from the 
published application will be stored.
Once the Build button is clicked, the status of the respective object will be changed to ‘Build 
Successful’ click for deploy options as shown below.
10
Deploy Action / Version Choosing
Click on the Deploy button, so that the Version Upgrade page will be displayed as shown below.
Slide the toggle key against the required version.
Major  - On selecting this option, the application will be versioned in the whole number.
Ex - 12.0 - 13.0
Major  - On selecting this option, the application will be versioned in decimals.
Ex - 12.0 - 12.01
Once the version settings are done, click on the Deploy button under it, so that the status 
Deployed will be displayed with the version number.
11
Layouts Configuration 
The Layout is an interface in which all the created objects and fields can be sorted and viewed. Here, 
the positions of the respective fields and actions can also be rearranged as per requirement.
We can create the layouts by drag and drop the required fields after selecting the object. In this 
workbook we are going to use the default layout which was generated automatically at the time 
of object build.
We already created the “Employee Master Info” object, for this object system already generated the 
following list of layouts at the time of object build.
employeemasterinfo_Entry
employeemasterinfo_View
employeemasterinfo_Web_List
employeemasterinfo_Mobile_List
employeemasterinfo_Mobile_Search_List
