Creating a Mobile Application Project

A mobile application project is the container for the mobile business objects that forms the business logic of mobile applications.

2. Enter a:
   • Name
   • Location (if other than the default).
3. Click Finish.
   The Mobile Application Project is created and an empty Mobile Application Diagram opens.
4. (Optional) Modify the Mobile Application Project configuration properties by right-clicking the project in WorkSpace Navigator, selecting Properties, and selecting Mobile Application Project Configuration. When modifying the configuration properties, keep in mind that:
   • The default application ID and Display name are the same as the project. The description is "Default application ID".
   • Follow these guidelines when changing application ID, application name, display name, and description:
     • ID – less that 64 bytes, begin with an alphabetic character, followed by alphanumeric characters, a dot, or underscores, and not contain consecutive dots or underscores.
     • Display name – string, length less than 80 bytes.
     • Description – string, length less than 255 bytes.
     All added applications must have a name (display name and description can be empty), but are assigned a name at runtime when the application is created.
