How to customize front web app screen?

Support
#1

Hi,
I start up my project in CUBA Studio, and click the /app link. It comes up with a blank screen:

There’s absolutely nothing in my Screens tab in CUBA Studio.
Is it possible in any way to customize this “homepage” using the Layout tools?
If not, is there a way to have one of the tabs be opened by default, say, open the “Dashboard” tab in Administration?

Hi,

in studio there is a link within the screens section called “create / edit main window”. Clicking on that will generate you a main window xml file that you can easily adjust to your needs.
Here you can find the docs about the main window.

In case you want to automatically load a particular screen you can do it via the ready method of the generated Controller class. Here’s an example:

 

public class ExtAppMainWindow extends AppMainWindow {

    @Override
    public void ready() {
        super.ready();
        openWindow("screen-to-open", WindowManager.OpenType.NEW_TAB);
    }
}

Bye,
Mario
