Parsware Platform
A Studio app is a screen you draw on a canvas and then tell what each part is. Saving turns the drawing into a real web page that reads and writes your records. Here's what that means, and when to draw a screen instead of laying out a form.

Undo and redo in the Graphic Designer go back one action at a time, a hundred deep. Export turns any part of a drawing into an image, an SVG, or HTML and React code you can take away.

Wherever the Parsware designer needs something from your Dataverse environment, a table, a view, a saved query or a column, it offers a list read from that environment rather than a box to type in. Here is every one of those pickers, what each lists, and the few places you still type a name.
Parsware Platform
One Studio app that holds your parts, a toggle, a field that says when it's wrong, a dropdown, and every other app in the environment places them. Change a part in the library and the apps that use it are brought up to date.
Parsware Platform
A component that looks different when pointed at, or in a state your screen decides, and an interface each copy is given: properties it shows and events it raises. Drawn, not coded, and nothing runs when the pointer moves.
Parsware Platform
Make a component from what you selected, place as many copies as you like, change the original and every copy follows, even in another app. Trying it, we fixed a component that left its words behind when you typed a new position, a menu that named the command differently from everywhere else, and text that started out in the wrong font.
Parsware Platform
One colour, text style or shape style used everywhere and changed in one place, and design tokens that make it follow light and dark mode. Trying them, we fixed three things in the style dropdown: it ignored the keyboard, showed every token as the same blue, and squeezed its own banner.
Parsware Platform
How a shape behaves when its frame changes size: pinned to an edge, stretched between two, kept in the middle, or scaled with the frame. Set once, it holds on the canvas and on every screen size the app runs on. Trying it, we found the ten choices were English in every language, and fixed that.

Every Parsware report and screen is drawn in one designer, which runs as a page inside the Parsware Studio app. This is a tour of it, from the list you open a design from to the toolbar, the layers, the components, the canvas and the properties panel, and what changes between a report and a screen.
Parsware Platform
Rows and columns that arrange themselves: a frame that lines up what is in it with one gap and one padding, keeps it lined up as you add things, and lets one child take the spare room. Trying it, we fixed Ctrl+D, which used to drop the copy on top of the next item instead of into the row.
Parsware Platform
Solid colours, design tokens that follow light and dark mode, linear and radial gradients, and icons from the platform's library. Trying them, we found every icon drawn as a solid blob on the canvas, and fixed it.
Parsware Platform
Placing text, giving one word its own weight and colour, fonts and sizes, and choosing whether the box fits the words or the words fit the box. Trying it, we fixed two things: you can now type as soon as you place a text, and styling after typing reaches the whole line.
Parsware Platform
Keeping shapes together as a group, combining them into one shape, and using one shape to frame another. Trying each, we fixed three things: double-click now reaches a shape inside a group, and a combined shape stays in its frame with its rounded corners.

Describe a screen in a sentence and the Parsware designer draws it, on your own Dataverse table, with the scripts that make it work. Here is a case triage screen with a count, a search box and a button on every row, generated in about twenty seconds, then changed by hand.
Parsware Platform
Guides that line a shape up with its neighbours as you drag, and buttons that align, match and space several shapes at once. Trying them, we stopped the guides catching shapes that aren't on screen.
Parsware Platform
Drawing a shape, selecting one or several, and moving, resizing, turning, copying and stacking them. Trying each, we fixed three things: a new shape is now selected, the arrow keys move it, and a typed angle turns it in place.
Parsware Platform
A frame is a screen, a page or a box that holds other things. Start one at a phone's size, draw inside it, and turn it into a tablet: what's inside follows the rules you give it.
Parsware Platform
Pan with the wheel, zoom with Ctrl, and press Shift+1 to see the whole drawing or Shift+2 to fill the window with what you selected. Trying them, we found the zoom keys missing and added them.

Power Apps replaces a broken code component with six words, "Error loading control", whatever went wrong. The Parsware Runtime control says what is wrong instead, in its own space on the form, and the form designer shows it before you save. Here is every message, and what to do about each one.
Parsware Platform
Studio screens and reports are drawn on one canvas, the Graphic Designer. Here's where everything is: the toolbar, the tool rail, the layers and components on the left, the inspector on the right. Touring it, we fixed two small things in its right-click menu.
