WebUI App Development

This main section contains a number of sub-sections dedicated to various topics related to the WebUI app development.

Some matters which are applicable to several sub-sections are mentioned here directly.

For example, starting from AIMMS 4.96, WebUi supports calling procedures with optional arguments in several places, such as behind a button widget, as part of item, widget, or page actions, as well as for page load and page leave procedures. When a procedure with optional arguments is used in one of these places, the call will be made based on the default values of the optional arguments.
