# Creating a Zimbra Application

To create a new Zimbra application, select File > New > Other > Zimbra Application. The Zimbra Application Wizard consists of three wizard pages.

The Name and Location page looks like this;

All inputs on this page are required. The Name will be the name for the new application. The Project and Module inputs define where the new application will be created. The Root Directory will be the name of the directory created which will contain all of the new application's assets. The controller file can be either a JSP or HTML file. This file will contain the logic for launching the Zimbra JavaScript application. At this point, the user can accept the defaults on the remaining wizard pages and select the Finish button to generate a new Zimbra application.

The second page (shown below) requires that the user enter the name of the JavaScript template that will serve as the starting point of the Zimbra application. Additionally, using the Advanced button, the user can specify that existing JavaScript files within the target project be imported into the new application.

The last page (shown below) in the wizard allows the user to specify CSS information. For the new application, a CSS template file can be generated depending on the user's choice. Using the Advanced button, existing CSS files can be automatically imported into the new application. In addition, the user has the choice of whether to use high resolution images or low resolution images (See the image builder section for more on this).
