Making your first m-Power application can seem like a daunting task. However, a little bit of planning makes the process go much more smoothly. For that reason, when beginning a new application, mrc recommends that you plan out all of the screens before even creating your first screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While no two template types are the same, they all have similar steps that must be followed while creating them. The following overview will guide you through the basics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Choosing a Template<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The template you choose will enhance or limit the features of your application. Therefore, choosing the right template<\/a> to meet your needs requires careful consideration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: Plan Your Specifications<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The application specifications make each application unique. The Data Mode specifications create the criteria for how data is to return to the application. They include: Table\/field selection, dimensions, filters, and calculated fields. Additional Options are optional specifications to add extra touches to the application. They include external objects, smartlinks, and template properties. mrc offers an Application Design Sheet<\/a> to help through this process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
