The CorasWorks Application Designer Solution is a visual design tool to create, modify, and extend custom applications that address the unique needs of your teams and organization. Through a Design Canvas, core SharePoint platform features are brought together with rich CorasWorks capabilities for a point-and-click, drag and drop builder experience. The result is a single site, custom application including a tab and button style UI for end users, and a Design Canvas back-end for administrators.
If you are working with a CorasWorks example application, the Design Canvas is your editor to make customizations. If you are building from scratch, the Design Canvas is your “clean slate” upon which to build your custom application.
