To create a new project you can access the menu via the following path:

Then, a window appears with a set of questions that will assist in the creation of the project.

Step 1

This first screen welcomes you to the process of creating a new project. Briefly explain the steps to follow.

Click Next

Project's Name - Enter the name of the project. Note that the project name cannot have spaces between words.
Project's Description - Enter the description of the project. Free field, used only in Kalipso.

Click Next

Step 2

In this screen, the application asks for the choice of style for the application to be developed. Graphical proposals are presented to facilitate. You can also create a project without having a defining style at first. Later, you can change the style or import it from another application.

After choosing you can click next.

Step 3

In this window you can choose which device the project is directed to. From the list available, you can choose the following:

Generic PC 1024x600
Generic PC 1280x720

ODBC - Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) is a standard application programming interface (API) for accessing database management systems (DBMS) . The designers of ODBC aimed to make it independent of database systems and operating systems.
OLE DB - Object Linking and Embedding, Database, (sometimes written as OLEDB or OLE-DB), an API designed by Microsoft, allows accessing data from a variety of sources in a uniform manner.

Depending on the chosen connection, the application asks for the following (choose the appropriate tab):

ODBC Connection - The name/path to the database
User Name - User name to access the database
Password - Password used to access the database
