When laying out an app, there are four basic interactive elements:
•App - An app can be a single page or multiple pages used to gather information.
•Page - A page is a collection of App Objects that users interact with to input data, trigger actions or make selections.
•Group - A group is an object that contains other App Objects (But objects may also be placed on a page without being inside any group)
•Object - An object is the single mechanism or interface that supports user interaction. Examples include text, header, text input, button, radio button, check box, etc.
When opening an app, the App Designer loads the app in Layout view by default. To switch to Layout view from another view (Behavior or Workflow), click the button in the Designer View above the Navigation Panel.
