## New Application

With the growing evolution of the Grid/Report application’s features for generating reports, the old PDF Report application was removed from the interface. However, it is still possible to use it.

To enable this functionality, the Scriptcase administrator must access the Options > Settings menu and open the System Settings page.

At the bottom of the page, after the foreign key configuration section, you can enable the old menu application to display it as an option when creating new applications.

Once enabled, the application will appear on the new application creation screen, as shown in the image below.

## Application Data

#### Table

#### Fields

#### SQL

## Relationship

When select two or more tables, the tab “Relationship” will be displayed. In this tab we can see the relationship created between the tables, where we can edit the related fields.

When we click in a link, in the screen above, it will displayed the related field’s edition form, as you can see in the image below.
