NEST Sitemap Editor functions similarly to sitemaps found on other software. Unlike other software, on NEST application pages are named Forms and they can be easily dragged from the Palette and placed on the sitemap to create more application pages. Sitemap Editor consists of the editing field on the left and the Palette on the right. Previous to developing your mobile application it is a good idea to visualize how many pages your applications will need and how they will connect with each other.

Figure 5 Sitemap Editor

1. You can add Forms to the Sitemap. These Forms will be pages in your smart application. Then, add Links to set relationships between the Forms. For example, connecting Form 1 and Form 2 will allow you to go from Form 1 to Form 2 on your application. Click the Link component from the palette to the right of the sitemap editor and then click on the first Form you want to connect and then click another Form to connect the first chosen Form to the second chosen Form.
2. Sitemap Editor also allows you to keep track of your Forms and how they are linked. You can click and drag “Form” from the palette to the Sitemap area to add the Forms. Also, you may copy and paste the Forms to duplicate them. Double clicking on the Forms will open up its page, where you can edit according to your plans.

* More,
You cannot design your page on the Sitemap Editor. To design each page of your application, double-click the Form, and the page will open under Visual Editor, where you can create each page and add different components.

When a new project is created a Home Form will already exist, it is typically the first page of the application. Home Forms although are used typically as the first page of the application they can be set so that they are not by selecting a different Form to start on by clicking on the Form and in the Properties window to the right of the sitemap editor changing the Start No to Yes. Any Form can be changed to any other kinds of Forms through the use of the Properties menu as it was mentioned in the previous sentence.

Figure 6 Creating a New Form

1. Additional Forms can be simply added by selecting the Form icon from the Palette on the right and dragging it to the Sitemap Editor as many times as it is needed. Newly added forms can be viewed by double clicking on the newly created form icons on the Sitemap Editor or by clicking on the new Form tabs on the Project Explorer located on the left of the Sitemap Editor.
2. Home forms can be differentiated from other Form icons on the Sitemap Editor by the red color instead of blue and the presence of the triangular arrow.

   Please refer to the following to learn about different types of Forms NEST offers.

   Figure 7 Different Types of Forms

   	Type: Home Display: Red background Purpose: This is the home page of your smart application. This is normally used as the main page of the application so when developing the application it is easier to tell apart which Form is the main Form at a quick glance. There can only be one Home Form.
   	Type: Start Display: White triangular arrow Purpose: This is the start page of your smart application, which means this is the first page you will see when you open your application on your device. There can only be one Start Form.
   	Type: Home and Start Display: Red background with white triangular arrow Purpose: In most cases, the main page is also your start page. By setting the Form as Home and Start, the main page will be first page when the app is opened on your device. Note that multiple features, like Home and Start, can be set to one Form.
   	Type: Basic Form Display: Blue background Purpose: The most common type of Form. This type of Form is used as other pages except for Home, Start, and Login page.
   	Type: Login Display: Orange icon located on the left top corner Purpose: If a page on your application requires a sign in or a log in feature, set the Form as a Login Form.
   	Type: Layer Display: Grey background Purpose: If you need to show two pages at once such as when a menu page appears that takes up a considerable amount of space and another Form remains visible.
   	Type: Logic Design: Green background Purpose: Holds events that are used on multiple pages such as when accessing menu or options page is available on each Form. There is no user interface for this Form, it is just an event holder.
