Issue
- What is the App Builder feature in DXP 7.3?
Environment
Resolution
- DXP 7.3 includes the possibility of building applications visually, backed by the Data Engine.
- To try this go to: Control Panel > App Builder > Custom Objects
- This application provides a nice UI to define custom model objects. This is somewhat similar to how developers can define entity models using Service Builder or similar tools, but all done through the UI.
-
With Custom Objects, it’s also possible to:
- Define one or more Form Views for each custom object in order to collect data from the target users of the application.
- Define one or more Table Views to display captured data.
- Create an application to tie all of these together to form a full application that can be deployed as a Widget, Standalone or added to the Product Menu.
