Several UI / Front End questions.... but... I cant seem to figure it out

How do I:

When I go to preview a page that has a few containers with stuff it if, all I see is the background color. Not the containers I have inserted. How do I get the full image of the page?

Is there a way to start each page with the logo already inserted at the top?

If I want a “menu” button with the three lines on my top right or left of each page, how do I create that?

There will be a series of video’s in my app - right now when I insert a video, it just looks like the front image. Will that change when I preview? Or, do I need to do something with the backend?

I am creating a series of video tutorials followed by worksheets for people. How do I insert my work sheets? Should I use a third party to create the sheets, and then make a link? Or can the software do that for me? I would like the worksheets to be both downloadable and workable from within the app.

Thank you, Malene

Hello @Malene_Comes

When I go to preview a page that has a few containers with stuff it if, all I see is the background color. Not the containers I have inserted. How do I get the full image of the page?

Has the stuff logic not to display or checkbox in designer? What do you mean about “full image of the page”

Is there a way to start each page with the logo already inserted at the top?

Add logo for each page

If I want a “menu” button with the three lines on my top right or left of each page, how do I create that?

Create button with menu like reuseable component and add it to every page

There will be a series of video’s in my app - right now when I insert a video, it just looks like the front image. Will that change when I preview? Or, do I need to do something with the backend?

Just test in the preview.

I don’t quite understand the desired result.

Thank you Viktor,

I started to suspect last night that this is because I still don’t understand the back end of backendless. The tutorial videos are also something I find I really have to look for, but found more stuff yesterday, and almost finished creating the UI - but it took days to figure it out. Once I did, it was easy.

I suspect once I understand the backend it will also be easy - but I don’t read programming language, and right now I am lost.

I will find the backend tutorials and try to figure it out the next two days - but I wish things were better organized - and that Mark wasn’t so difficult to hear on the video’s. Maybe you can direct me to the beginning back end video’s?
Is there a video that gives a quick overview of all the UI elements? Some I haven’t touched you and would like to know exactly what they do.

I didn’t understand what you meant in your explanation for creating a menu - maybe I need to understand the backend better for that too …

(And saying “just preview” after I have said that right now my preview doesn’t work for me - that’s a little harsh!)

Thank you

I didn’t realize that the preview is not working. You didn’t write about preview not working, just about a few containers.

Malene,

There are two playlists you should start with. This is the first one:

This is the second and it is very important to understand the basics of UI Builder. As you watch the videos, repeat every single step shown in a video so you can get the same result:
