Default Screens and Layout Structure
When you create a new application in Lowgile Studio, Lowgile generates a default screen and layout structure.
These screens provide a working starting point for the application. You can use them as generated, customize them, or replace them as the application design evolves.
Default screens
Section titled “Default screens”| Screen | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Home | Starter landing screen displayed when users open the application |
| Main layout | Layout screen that defines the overall application page structure |
| Header | Shared top area for application title, navigation, or user actions |
| Sidebar | Shared navigation area used to link users to functional screens |
| User profile | Example screen for profile and user-related functionality |
How the structure works
Section titled “How the structure works”The generated screens work together to create the initial application shell.
- The Home screen is linked to the Main layout.
- The Main layout defines the shared page structure.
- The Header and Sidebar provide reusable navigation and framing areas.
- Functional screens are linked to the layout so they display within the defined page structure.
Customizing default screens
Section titled “Customizing default screens”The generated screens are not fixed platform requirements. They are starter screens that can be adapted for your application.
You can:
- Modify the generated screens,
- Add new functional screens,
- Update the navigation structure,
- Replace the generated layout with a custom layout, or
- Remove screens that are not needed.
Note
Default screens provide the initial scaffolding for the application. Use them to start quickly, then adapt the structure to match the application you are building.
