Create an app from scratch

How to Create an app from scratch: whether you’re a multinational business or a startup, apps have become integral to how organizations run their business. Building your own app might seem like a complicated affair, but with the Zoho Creator platform, you can turn your ideas into applications with ease, and with minimum coding effort.

Steps to Create an app from scratch
1. Go to the homepage of Zoho Creator. Navigate to Solutions module. Click the Create Solution button in the top right corner.

2. Three kinds of solutions will be displayed – Applications, BI & Analytics, and Integration flows. Click Select button in Applications.

3. The different ways to create application will be shown: Create from scratch, Create from Gallery, and Import from file. Click the Create button under Create from scratch to create an app from scratch.

4. Name your application and click Create Application.

Zoho Creator will create the application and open the design window to make required changes in the application.

Before you start building your app, it’s crucial that you:

– Identify the business processes that you’d like to organize and automate.
– Outline the data that each process is based on, as well as the roles or profiles involved.
– Determine how the roles, customers, or personas involved will interact with the app.

Then you can start creating a form:
A form is the component of your Zoho Creator app that enables you to collect and store data. In other words, it enables your users to enter data into your app. This makes forms one of the main points of interaction between your users and your app.
If you relate your Zoho Creator app with a database, then a form corresponds to a table in the database. If you relate your Zoho Creator app with a spreadsheet, then a form corresponds to a sheet in the spreadsheet.
