Create a Kony Reference Architecture Project

A Kony Reference Architecture project lets you create a custom application using a structured, modular framework based on the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture. Forms represent the view of the application, and there is a controller associated with each form that manipulates the view, handles navigation, and interacts with a statically defined model or dynamic object services layer.

You can use the New Project wizard to create a custom Kony Reference Architecture project, a custom Free Form JavaScript project, a custom iOS application extension project, or a project that is built from sample applications and components. For information on the different types of Kony Visualizer projects, see Types of Projects.

To create a new custom Kony Reference Architecture project:

On the File menu (the Project menu in Kony Visualizer), click New Project to open the Start a New Project screen of the New Project wizard.

Select Create Custom App, and then click Choose. Kony Visualizer opens the Project Type screen of the New Project wizard.

In the Project Name text box, enter a name for your project.

A project name should contain fewer than 14 characters.
A project name can be alphanumeric. However, the first character of a project should always be a letter.
Do not use any of the following reserved keywords as a project name: authService, workspace, mfconsole, kpns, middleware, accounts, syncservice, syncconsole, services, admin, middleware, and appdownload.

Select Kony Reference Architecture, and then click Create.

Kony Visualizer by default creates folders for forms, popups, templates, modules, resources, actions and services. For a Kony Reference Architecture application project, Kony Visualizer also creates a Controllers folder.

When you create a form or template, Kony Visualizer automatically creates associated controller and controller actions modules in the Controllers folder, using the form name as a prefix. When you rename the form or template, Kony Visualizer automatically updates the names of the associated modules to use the new form or template name.
