QUESTION POSED ON: 02 March 2005
Can you please tell me something about BEx Web Application Designer (WAD) and how to create Web application design? What are the steps for Web application design?

>
EXPERT RESPONSE
First you must create at least one (usually more) query definitions using the BEx Query Designer. These query templates act as objects that you can embed into a web page, using the Web application designer (WAD). The WAD is similar to graphical web page design programs like MS Frontpage or Macromedia Dreamweaver. You are given a series of standard BW objects to embed into a Web page, along with the capability to code your own HTML and add text, graphics, tables and custom formatting.

A way to learn about the BW objects that are available is to insert each one into a new Web template, assign your pre-built BEx query definition, and view the outcome in a Web browser. An excellent BW reporting user guide that covers the WAD is available at www.researchsummary.ca/bw.
