Issue

  • What is the App Builder feature in DXP 7.3?

Environment

  • DXP 7.3

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:
    1. Define one or more Form Views for each custom object in order to collect data from the target users of the application.
    2. Define one or more Table Views to display captured data.
    3. 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.
