Saving a Project as a Template

Save an existing project as a template.

When you create a new project, you can select one of two different types of application templates for your project. When you save a project as a template, you will also generate one these template types to expedite application development for similar applications. The two basic template types available in AppBuilder are:

Generic Application Template

This template creates a basic application.

Tab Based Application Template

Tab based applications display a series of buttons along the bottom of the screen. Tapping the different buttons in the application presents a different screen of data, or, a new root view.
