Set homepage for an application
Setting a Homepage in NoCode-X
This page explains, in simple terms, why you need a homepage for your application, how to set it, and what happens if you don’t.
Why do you need a homepage?
A homepage is the first screen your users see when they open your application.
Think of it as the “front door” to your app.
Without a homepage, your users won’t know where to start, and the application won’t know what to show first.
You must set a homepage to:
- Test your application in the runtime (preview mode)
- Run your application in production for real users
Note:
If your application only runs background jobs or actions that don’t need user interaction, you don’t need a homepage.
How to set the homepage
Follow these easy steps:
-
Go to your workspace in NoCode-X.
-
Find your application and click the edit icon to open its settings.
- Click on the "Meta data" tab.
- Find the dropdown menu and select your homepage from the list of existing templates.
- Click "Save".
That’s it! Your changes are applied instantly.
What happens if you don’t set a homepage?
If you try to run your application without a homepage, you’ll see an error message:
"Page not found"
This means the app doesn’t know where to start, so always make sure to set a homepage before testing or launching your application.
