---++ FAQ:

How can I create a simple [[TWikiForms][TWiki Forms]] based application?

---++ Answer:

TWiki applications help automate workflows you have at the workplace. TWiki has a built-in database that can be used to write custom web applications. These are wiki applications that run in TWiki.

A typical TWiki forms based application consists of the following pages:

   * Application home page, typically containing links to other application pages. It may contain also a report showing data records.
   * Form definition page, defining the fields of a record. Details in TWikiForms.
   * Template page, used as a template for new data records. It is essentially a TWiki page with a form attached to it. Details in TWikiTemplates.
   * Header page: Optional page included in each record page to summarize the record.
   * Page with an HTML form to create new records.
   * Report page(s). Details in VarSEARCH and FormattedSearch.

TWiki.org has a blog post on [[TWiki:Blog.BlogEntry201009x1][How to Create a TWiki Application]] where you can learn the details.
