Building applications
The following topics contain information on how to build and efficiently use applications in HCL Domino Leap.
- Creating an application
  This topic gives a general overview of the application creation process, from opening the Domino Leap interface to launching a completed application.
- Creating an application from an excel spreadsheet
  Domino Leap allows you to create an application from an excel spreadsheet, automatically creating the widgets and importing the data found in the spreadsheet.
- Styling your application with a custom theme
  Style the colors, fonts, and other characteristics of the application by creating or importing a custom theme.
- Moving items in an application
  Form items are not static after they are added to a form. You can move items around on a single page, duplicate form items, and move items between pages on your form.
- Copying items
  Items may be copied from one form to another form within any application.
- Creating an accessible application
  When you create an application, the following information helps you make it accessible for users with disabilities.
- Enabling dynamic layout
  When you build applications, you can now set the display width of your Domino Leap application. Setting this feature reduces or removes the need for horizontal scrolling when you have an unknown or limited amount of space.
- Globalization features
  The following information describes the languages formatting features supported by Domino Leap.
- Creating rules in your application
  Rules help you gather the correct information from users and organize your information after data is entered in a form or app page. You can create composite rules that govern how your form or app page - and the data in it it - behaves.
- Labeling data, performing data analysis, and exporting data
  You can add labels to data elements in your application that become the label in the export file.
- Incorporating services into your applications
  The following topics describe how to incorporate services into your Domino Leap application.
- Adding formulas to your application
  Use formulas to assign values to items on an HCL Domino Leap form or app page. They are divided into two categories: Item Formulas, which list formulas created from the Properties panel, and General Formulas, which list complex formulas created from the Settings tab.
- Adding specialized items
  You can use specialized form or app page items to style text, echo text back, create dynamic lines, or add HTML.
  - Echoing text with a Text item
    You can use the Text item to echo text, or build a summary page.
  - Adding Rich Text to a form or app page
    Using the Rich Text entry, you can add Rich Text anywhere in your form or app page.
  - Adding a Data Grid to a form or app page
    A data grid allows you to display a list of data anywhere in your application.
  - Adding tables to a form
    The Table form item enables the user to add complex entries to a form.
  - Adding HTML fragments to a form or app page
    Using the HTML Fragment item, you can add HTML anywhere in your form or app page.
  - Adding media to a form or app page
    You can add media to a form or app page anywhere you place the Media item.
  - Adding a navigation property to a button or link
    You can add a navigation property to a button or link.
- Managing the files associated with your application
  You can upload a variety of files, such as images, for use with your application. Managing these embedded files is done in the Files section of the Settings tab
- Domino Leap document integration
  HCL Domino Leap's document integration feature lets you use previously built PDF files and populate them with data captured by Domino Leap in a Domino Leap form.
- Adding Stages to an application
  It is often desirable to have an application, or form, transition through a set of phases or stages. At each stage the form might be used by different people in different roles. The form also might be presented in a slightly different manner in each stage, such as having some items or pages hidden, or in a read-only state.
- Deploying applications and viewing responses
  After a Domino Leap application is built it must be deployed. After it is deployed, you can supply users with the URL of the application so they can launch it. After users submit completed forms, you can view the responses.

Echoing text with a Text item

You can use the Text item to echo text, or build a summary page.

About this task

Use the Text item from the Palette to create a header or title for your form or app page. You can add formatted text, links, and images. On a form, you can also insert items to echo text, make a summary page, or to add a user’s name to the beginning of a form or app page. The following instructions describe how to create a summary page on your form or app page. The summary page displays a read-only version of the changes a user made before confirming a change. For example, if your application is a checkout feature where users enter billing and shipping information, you can set an echo text page to confirm their billing and shipping addresses before completing and confirming the order.

Procedure

At the top of the Palette, click the ellipses next to an existing page. Select Add Form Page from the menu.
The Properties panel appears on the side of the screen for the selected item.
Drop a Text item onto the form or app page. Select the form item widget - the Properties panel displays on the side of the screen.
Enter the name of the Text item in the text area.
For example, you might enter Summary Page.
Under the Content: heading, click Insert item. Select the page and item you want to display on the summary page.
Repeat for all of the items you want to summarize.
You can separate the selected items by spaces, commas, line breaks, or other formatting.
