Create a Workspace for a New Visual Application

Create a visual application when you want to start developing a new visual application with a new Git repository.

  1. On the Organization page, select the project where you want to create a visual application.
  2. In the VB Studio left navigator, click Workspaces Workspaces.
  3. On the Workspaces page, click New, then select New Visual Application.
  4. In the New Visual Application dialog, enter a name for the workspace. Because a workspace is synonymous with a visual application, this name will also be used for the visual application that VB Studio creates.
  5. If multiple environments are available, select the Development Environment. (If only one environment is available, it is automatically selected for you.)

    If you're asked to enable OAuth for the instance you selected, it means your target instance requires authorization to acquire OAuth tokens for accessing the instance. Click Enable OAuth. If you're asked to renew OAuth, it means the tokens used by your target instance have expired. Click Renew OAuth.

  6. If you want to use a template other than the default VB application template, click Change Template in Visual Application Template. The default application template does not create any artifacts, apps, or other resources. Other templates might create resources or apps that already include artifacts.

    Tip:

    Create a workspace using the Oracle Visual Builder Cookbook template to browse through samples of common coding patterns and learn by example. See Work With Code Samples.
  7. In Git Repository, choose between creating a new repository where you and others can work on the visual application and using a private scratch repository that is visible only to you.
    • To create a new repository for your visual application, click Create new repository, then enter a repository name and working branch name.
    • To use a scratch repository for your visual application, click Use scratch repository (selected by default).
  8. Click Create.

VB Studio creates a visual application workspace and opens it up in the Designer, so you can start to create your web apps and define their data sources. A new visual application does not contain any artifacts, but the application's file structure and some resources are created for you by default. You can use the Welcome screen to help you decide which artifacts you want to create first:
