    Creating a Site - Standard UDMs and HTMs
     

You will see five tabs on the page - General, Standard, Browse By, Associate and Advanced. If this is the first time you are generating a site, we suggest you just click Create again, to use the defaults that zeroCode has thrown up. The options on each tab are described below.

   
  The General tab
 
 

Checking Create menu page will build a page on the left side of your automatically-generated site that shows a list of all the tables in your site, so you can navigate to them easily. You can choose to apply security to this list via a later option (on the Advanced tab).
 

The Home Page is the first page that comes up after a user logs into a zeroCode-created site - checking Create home page will build that for you. A site can also be created without this page, if you'd like to replace it with another page of your choice.
 

As explained elsewhere, zeroCode supports security at multiple levels. Checking the By default... box will build a site with a log-in page for it. The first time you create a site, check the Create login page box also. In later generations of the same site, you will want to uncheck the creation of the login page if you have modified the login page and need such security to be retained.
 

In the first combo, you will see a list of tables. Choose the one that carries user IDs in the database, so that the generated site can validate the keyed-in user ID and password against the table. Once you choose a table, zeroCode fills the other combos with column-names from that table. Select the column-names that carry the user and password. 
 
  The Default paging option lets you select the number of lines of data you would like to see, by default, on each list page in your site. You can change this on a page-by-page basis later, if you'd like, by editing the UDM.
  In the Session expiry time option, tell zeroCode the time-length for which a user of your site can remain logged in without any activity, after which s/he will be automatically logged off.
