This user owns a number of database tables in a sample schema that can be used to create applications for a fictional Human Resources department. However, for security reasons, this user's account is locked. You need to unlock this account before you can build a sample application. Now you are ready to create your first application. The Database Home Page appears. You create this application based on the EMPLOYEES table, which is part of the HR schema. Next, add pages to your application. Notice that Action describes the type of page you are adding. Two new pages display at the top of the page, under Create Application.
