Masters make creating similar screens much easier. Instead of copy-pasting the original screen, you create a master and apply it on number of screens. What is more, any changes made on a master are automatically propagated to all derived screens.

Create a Master *

In this example, we want to mockup a simple website called “Employee Database”.

First, create new master. It’s empty when just created:

Add a web header to the master:

• Click on image below to see it in full size.
• I have used an icon for simple logo, and List for the blue background.
• Change Form’s caption to “Web”, effectively that’s the name of our master.

Create Empty Screens and Apply a Master *

Create 3 screens and apply our “Web” master to each. Now you have 3 new screens which are empty but for the same header – the one they derived from the master:

• Click “New Screen” button above the Screen Tree three times.
• Right-click on each screen and choose “Apply Master…” command
• From a dialog, choose “Web” master we created few moments ago.

What you have is:

• 3 empty screens with exactly the same web header.

Add Widgets to Screens *

Now let’s add some widget to our screens. I have created 3 mockups, for the following web pages:

Website homepage:

• Change form caption to “Homepage”.
• Add few graphics via Icon widget.
• Add few headings and texts, use dummy “Lorem ipsum” text to generate content.
• Add few links.
• Click on image to see it in full size:

Download page:

• Change Form’s caption to “Download”.
• Add Mac and Windows graphics (use Icon widgets).
• Add some text and Download buttons.
• Click on image to see it in full size:

Contact page:

• Change Form’s caption to “FAQ”.
• Add a number of Headings and texts.
• Click on image to see it in full size:

Make Changes on the Master *

Let’s go to the master and make a different logo.

• Click on the master on “Masters” panel.
• Double-click the Icon widget with the logo and choose another graphics.

Changes Propagate to All Derived Screens *

Now check your screens:

• Logo change have propagated to all of them.
