Application Creator

Summary

This tool allows one to easily create applications for users to fill out online. This can be used to hire staff members or employees. It allows you to sort applications into four different categories based on what the administrator thinks about the application. For example, one can change categories from the 'Unread Applications' category to the 'Excellent Applications' category. This will primarily be used for sorting, and can help the administrator sort between good and bad applications.

Compatibility

This application requires at least PHP 5.0.0. It uses MySQLi connections which is not supported by previous PHP versions. The CSS code works in pretty much all modern browsers; most of the website was styled using Bootstrap, which is compatible with most modern browsers.

Usage

Installing the files only requires you to copy the files into a folder on your web server. Upon installation, you will be greeted to a screen asking to enter your MySQL information. For the table name, do not need to create a MySQL table as one will be created for you. Press submit once you're done, and you may log in. Configuration

Upon logging into your control panel, you will be prompted to create a new application. The task is pretty self explanatory. Create a new question by pressing Add Question and selecting either a 'Text Box' or a 'Text Area'. Text boxes are small, while text areas are big. Once selected, the question will be added to the table below. Simply type in the invisible text box under the question column, and you can type a question. To add a heading, or category, press the button labeled Add Category. A text box will appear, prompting you to enter the name of the category you would like to add. After every category you add, an option to use that category will appear in each of the drop down boxes in the table. Build Application

Once you create the application, remember that the application is still turned off. You may turn it back on by visiting the 'Application Settings' page. This screen provides a variety of options, including the title of the application, background color, font, and option to toggle the application status. Press the dropdown box and select 'Turn Application On' if you have not already. Application Settings

Upon toggling your application status, you can now visit your application and view it as the public would. Main Webpage

When an application has been submitted, please check out the statistics page in the admin control panel. It will show a pie chart with information pertaining to the amount of applications filled out. Like mentioned earlier, the applications are sorted based on Unread Applications, Excellent Applications, Okay Applications, and the Trash Can for horrible applications. Statistics

Finally, you may view applications in any category by clicking the navigational bar on the side and selecting the category. A navigation bar will appear on the right side with applications you can click on. View Application
