This article shows how to generate quickly and automatically all the navigation components you need to build the first version of a Data Application. Once your data model (entities, attributes, and relationship) is done, this feature will generate automatically default components for each entity:
- Display Cards
- Forms
- Collections
- Steppers
- Action Sets
- Business views
- Navigation Drawer
Since it allows to produce application components very easily, this feature facilitates iterative and interactive workshops between Data Architect and Business users at design time.
If you do not have created any model and diagram yet, refer to Create a data model and Create entities and attributes articles for details.
