A Developer’s Overview - Beginning Oracle Application Express 4.2 - page 12

Team Development is the section that lets you enter and track information related to the
development of APEX applications.
Administration is where you can manage the details of your workspace, its defaults, users,
groups, and so on. Be aware that a Workspace Administrator has more options available to
them than a standard developer.
The Home Page
Once you log in to your workspace, you're presented with the workspace Home page, as shown in Figure 2-6 . The
Home page is your gateway to the rest of the development environment and provides some high-level information
about what's going on in the workspace.
Figure 2-6. APEX development Home screen
Along the very top are the Oracle logo and the Application Express banner. To the right of that is the Navigation
Bar that contains the workspace name and a Logout link enabling you to log out of this workspace and navigate
back to the main APEX login page. Just below the Navigation Bar is the main menu bar that is available to you
throughout the developer interface. It gives direct access to many of the sections you need to get to quickly while
you're developing applications. It's worth noting that each section of the menu bar is broken down into two pieces.
For instance, if you click directly on the Application Builder item, you're immediately taken to the Application Builder
home page. However, if you click the small downward-pointing triangle just to the right, you're presented with a more
detailed drop-down menu that lets you choose your destination a bit more granularly, as in Figure 2-7 .
