AppPage Types

1 minute to read

In Caspio Flex, there are two types of AppPages:

Page – displayed as a webpage, accessible using its URL
Overlay window – displayed as a modal window over another AppPage.

You can select the AppPage type in the right panel, under General settings.

Page

A page type AppPage is a full webpage that users can access directly via a URL or using the navigation of your app. It serves as a standalone screen where users see and interact with your app’s content.

Overlay window

An overlay window is a special type of AppPage designed to appear as a modal (or pop–up) on top of the current AppPage, without full-page navigation. They are useful when you want to show additional content or capture user input without leaving the current AppPage. For example, you can configure an overlay window AppPage to display details of a selected record in a report, or to provide users with a convenient way of creating and editing records.

You can configure DataParts inside an overlay window to close the AppPage on an action success (for example, a new record submission).
