Publishing Application To Templates

In Templates, you can find ready-made applications. By publishing your application into Templates, you are making it available for other users.

By publishing your application into Templates, you are making it available for other users. They can afterwards work with the template without changing primary data in your application and at the same time recreate it according to their taste.  

How to publish

If you plan to expose applications to Templates, you need to set this in User Settings.

If you then enter the Edit application, you have the Templates section.

The actual publication of the app is in the same place as Edit. (Publish to Templates.)

How to publish your Application to Templates in Tabidoo. 

  • In the next step, you decide whether your template will be published as public or private. In the case of private, you will be the only one to see it and find it afterwards in the Private section of templates.

  • Now it's time to decide which data you want to appear in the template, in other words, you select the Behavior of published tables.

You can choose from 3 options:

Without data:

The table will be published without any data on the Templates. Other users can download an empty copy of this table from the Templates. Users can not see or change data in your original table.

With data:

All data currently existing in the table will be published to the Templates. Other users can download a copy of this table with copy of published data from the Templates. Users can change copied data. Users can not see or change data in your original table.

With data - only for demo purposes:

All data currently existing in the table will be published to the Templates. Other users can download a copy of this table with a copy of published data from the Templates when downloading the application as a demo application. Users can change copied demo data. Users can not see or change data in your original table.

  • Now simply Publish it and your application will appear in Templates.

You can find it in the section Created by users and under its name you can notice its review by other users and a number of downloads.

Public applications

Only signed users can publish applications as public. Otherwise, you only publish as private. However, it is possible to specify users who will have access to the app in Templates.

Here are top points for public app developers:

  • If you don't have the ability to publish publicly, you probably don't have a contract with Tabidoo. Please contact us at support@tabidoo.cloud.
  • After the first publish, the application needs to be approved. Approval of the application may take a few days. The author will receive the result via email.
  • An overview of the downloaded applications you have created can be found in User Settings.

Tips for easier application approval:

  • Of course, no insults, vulgar words, racism, etc. are allowed. We hope we don't even need to mention that.
  • It is not possible to publish applications that contain tables from another paid application.
  • It must be clear what the application is for.
  • The Link to document extension can be very useful to explain the application.
  • Demo data can help understanding.
  • If you have many items, they may not all be visible in the main table. Some may only be on the input form.
  • Use categories and categorization in the form designer for larger tables.
