App Builder was introduced in JMP 10. In the beginning, it had its bumps and warts and was, arguably, a bit of a challenge to use. As a long-time JSL scripter, I, too, was reticent to use App Builder and preferred to code everything from scratch, even dialog boxes. But I got tired of the work needed to make small visual tweaks to my dialogs and custom report windows, so I gave App Builder another look -- and have not looked back. If it's worth an interface, I'm using App Builder.
In this session I talk about some of the basics of creating applications with one or more interactive elements. I discuss key elements that make App Builder great, along with some lesser-known features. Topics include building multiple module applications, scoping, managing windows, working with the App Builder interface, how JSL is different with App Builder, and working with other JMP elements such as Data Tables, Add-In Builder and Workflows.
