How to create a job board app in Adalo?

Step 1: Create a New Adalo Project

  1. Open Adalo and log in to your account.
  2. Click on "Create New App".
  3. Choose a native or web app based on what you need.
  4. Pick a blank template to start fresh.
  5. Give your project a fitting name (e.g., "Job Board App").

Step 2: Setup Database Collections

  1. Head over to the "Database" section.
  2. Create a new collection called "Jobs".
  • Add properties like:
    • Job Title (Text)
    • Description (Text)
    • Company Name (Text)
    • Location (Text)
    • Salary (Number)
    • Posted Date (Date/Time)
  1. Make another collection named "Companies".
  • Add properties such as:
    • Company Name (Text)
    • Description (Text)
    • Logo (Image)
  1. If you don't have a "Users" collection yet, create one.
  • Add properties like:
    • Name (Text)
    • Email (Text)
    • User Type (Drop-down: Employer/Job Seeker)

Step 3: Design the User Interface

  1. Create the Home Screen:
  • Add a list component to show job postings from the "Jobs" collection.
  • Set up the list to display job title, company name, and location.
  1. Create a Job Details Screen:
  • Configure the screen to show detailed info about a selected job.
  • Add text components to display the job title, description, company name, location, and salary.
  • Add a button for job seekers to apply.
  1. Create a Company Profile Screen:
  • Set up the screen to show info about companies from the "Companies" collection.
  • Include text components for the company name and description, and an image component for the company logo.
  1. Create Additional Screens:
  • Add a screen for job posting where employers can input job details.
  • Add a screen for user registration and login.

Step 4: Set Up User Authentication

  1. Create a login screen with email and password fields.
  2. Create a sign-up screen with fields for the name, email, password, and user type.
  3. Configure Adalo's built-in user authentication.
  4. Link the screens properly with actions for logging in, signing up, and logging out.

Step 5: Implement Job Posting Functionality

  1. Create a form on the job posting screen to enter job details.
  2. On form submission, create an action to add a new record to the "Jobs" collection.
  3. Restrict this screen to users with the "Employer" user type.
  4. Add logic to link back to the homepage or a success page after submission.

Step 6: Implement Job Application System

  1. On the job details screen, configure the "Apply" button to create a new record in an "Applications" collection.
  • "Applications" collection might have properties like:
    • Job (Relationship to "Jobs")
    • Applicant (Relationship to "Users")
    • Application Date (Date/Time)
  1. Notify employers of new applications via Adalo's notification system or custom actions.

Step 7: Add Navigation Components

  1. Add navigation bars to let users switch between screens easily.
  2. Ensure navigation from the home screen to job details, company profiles, and job posting screens is smooth.
  3. Set up a profile menu or tab to let users go to their profile or logout.

Step 8: Customize Styling and Branding

  1. Adjust the colors, fonts, and overall styles to match your job board app's branding.
  2. Add logos and other branding elements where needed.
  3. Test your app on different devices to make sure the UI looks consistent.

Step 9: Test and Launch

  1. Do thorough testing of all functionalities – from user registration and authentication to job posting and applying.
  2. Test both as an employer and a job seeker to make sure all user flows work well.
  3. Once testing is satisfactory, launch your app by publishing it.

This workflow gives you a structured approach to building a job board app using Adalo, covering database setup, UI design, user functionalities, and deployment.
