Your first app

An app is a page you build on workspace data. A dashboard is an app.

Create the page

An app is a page. The document is the HTML people see. A server action is a function that runs on Orbitype. The page calls it with Orbi.action. The name in that call must match the action name.

  1. Open Apps.
  2. Create an app and name it.
  3. Write a line of HTML in the document and save.

You should see that line in the preview. An empty document previews as an empty page. The action shows nothing until the document calls it.

If this fails: The preview is blank

The document is the page. An empty document previews as an empty page. Add HTML, save, and reload the preview. A server action does not show anything until the document calls Orbi.action.
