Here's a video explaining the setup process below:

An introduction to MDriven Designer is a UML modelling tool that allows you to capture enough details to actually cover every aspect of a software system. It makes you model the full specification of what you want to explain. The MDriven designer overview sessions were created to provide the answers to all the questions that you might have during the operation process of our service. This step-by-step guide will assist you in MDriven designer effective application.

To make your experience more comfortable, we set the main tags mentioned in the video to the right bar menu of this mini player. Choose the interesting subtitle on the list and immediately get to the exact theme timeplace in the video. Now you can pick any topic to be instructed without watching the whole video.

First

1. Create your site “YourSite” as webapplication

2. Create another webapplication under “YourSite” called “__MDrivenServer” (double underscore) so that it ends up like this: “YourSite/__MDrivenServer”

3. Make sure the __MDrivenServer is an application of its own ( Application check box next to folder name must be checked)

4. Download the Publishing profile for the main application (the web app)

Now you are set for Automated deploy via portal.mdriven.net

1. Log into portal.mdriven.net
2. Create new Turnkey site
3. State the name and upload the Publishing profile
4. Request Deploy - save - wait for state Deployed - Skip to THIRD step

Manual deploy? Continue with steps below

5. In “YourSite/__MDrivenServer” you install the MDriven Server zip from the download page

6. In “YourSite” you install the MDriven Turnkey zip from the download page

That is all as far installation requirements – the rest is configuration

Second

1. Make sure your MDrivenServer works

2. Set up the YourSite/App_Data/TurnkeySettings.xml by looking in the one already there called “TurnkeySettings – NotInEffect.xml”

3. You can now use your “a” account and pwd from MDrivenDesigner cloud dialog to upload a model to the MDrivenServer

4. After this you can run the prototyper against MDrivenServer

Third

1. You need a ViewModel named Index and one named About, If you have those you should see them showing up as index page and as https://<yoursite>/MDriven/About

2. You may however want to override these with your own styled static pages. Create Index.cshtml and About.cshtml in <YourSite>\Views\EXT_OverridePages\ The file content can make use of the data in your ViewModels if needed – if so these pages are strictly MVC5 and not AngularJS

3. Other ViewModels you add will be defaulted to AngularJS. If you instead want MVC5 for a specific page you set a tagged value on the ViewModel : “MVC=True”

Fourth

1. You can now run the ”YourApp” as AngularJS app

2. You can run the WPF-Fat-client against the “YourSite” url

3. You can now make model updates and evolve your system from MDrivenDesigner
