Overview of the OpenEdge AppBuilder
This section provides an overview of the OpenEdge AppBuilder and includes information on starting the AppBuilder and a description of the AppBuilder windows, menu options, and the AppBuilder Object Palette. The AppBuilder is a visual programming environment that allows you to rapidly build complex applications. After you read this section, you should be familiar with the components of the AppBuilder and how to work with the AppBuilder and Object Palette options. For more detailed information about using the AppBuilder and Object Palette, see the OpenEdge Development: AppBuilder .
Note: The components and menu options available in the AppBuilder differ depending upon the products you have licensed and the components that you choose to install. If you decide that you want access to a component that you did not initally install, you can add it to your installation. See the OpenEdge Getting Started: Installation and Configuration for details.
