Express Mode with multiple objects

Lets take a look at an Express Mode app with multiple objects. After selecting first object and fields instead of Preview we can add more objects by searching from search bar or to get related object based on object relationships. Click(Relationships) to open Relationship Explorer of an object.

Now we can search and explore relationships and once we click related object gets added with required fields and relevant filters to establish the relationship. To add more related objects we can either search in the existing relationships or we can to add related object and further explore newly added object's relationships to Nth level. You may recall that in Express Mode a user only needs to know selection of required objects and fields only and the rest of the components will be created by Express Mode.

In the above screenshot we can see two objects are selected and on the right hand side its basic workflow is also created. In the selected object cards we can see some details like where exactly the data will be rendered and whether the data is filtered or not by number of filters created. We can configure object's fields, Query and Map by expanding the card to fine tune our app.

On selecting already added object's card it gets expanded to give more detailed options to fine tune basic building blocks. Here in above snapshot Query Mode is updated to User Selection and Map's location and its Layout type is updated from Grid to Form as we want a single record to be displayed. For the second object we have updated Map's location and its Layout type is Grid only to show multiple records related to first object. And here we go for Preview to get following output.
