After opening Squirrel, there are a couple of ways to Create a Project, including starting a New Project or opening a template.
Selecting 'Start new project' will create a blank canvas for you to work with.
After creating the project, the canvas size will default to 1366x768, which we've dubbed 'Desktop Small'. You can easily change the canvas size in a couple of ways:
Via the Width/ Height properties - these properties can be manually edited to change the canvas size, or bound to the spreadsheet.
'Canvas size' dropdown - displays a list of predefined canvas sizes suitable for projects of desktop, tablet, and mobile sizes.
Each template provides distinct designs, base functionality, and calculations, all clearly labeled in the Object Browser and within the spreadsheet. The data in the spreadsheet is organized into 'About this Template', 'Calculations', 'Styling', and 'App Logic' sheets.
The Squirrel home screen allows you to load a template downloaded from the . When you select a template, the canvas will fill with pre-designed components and a fully functional spreadsheet.
