Introduction

Get Started

The easiest way to see how the Advanced Grid works is to use the existing built-in App Expenses Claims and look at an existing form in the app. Here are the steps:

...

1. Start the Joget Server and open the App Center.
   
   
2. Log in as admin and click on the pencil icon on the Expenses Claim to open the Design App. (see Figure 1)
