One designer, one data model

Drag fields, check types, assemble a wizard.

In the designer, forms, reports and multi-step wizards are created visually — with the same library as the portal. Fields connect to the data model, types are checked, suggestions appear right at the cursor.

Business logic comes from the workflow engine, customer-specific edge cases from an isolated JavaScript sandbox. What is designed here runs in the portal, in the internal cockpit and in the smartphone app — without double maintenance.

Highlights

Four traits that make a good designer.

A rich library, visible logic, typed data, safe coding.

01

Over 50 controls, grouped

From the text field to the interactive map. Input, selection, layout, data tables and content — all from one library, all equally easy to maintain.

WYSIWYG with drag and drop

Drag fields from the library into the draft, reorder by mouse, edit properties beside it. Preview and source view directly switchable.

03

Typed data mapping

Fields connect to the data model, types are checked, suggestions appear via Intellisense. Whoever changes the model sees the impacted spots immediately.

Workflow- and code-sandbox

Complex business logic via the workflow engine; customer-specific edge cases in an isolated JavaScript sandbox — without risk to the platform.

More than two dozen capabilities, grouped into four areas — all part of one platform service, nothing is a third-party tool.

Designer & preview

Design visually, see results immediately, document cleanly.

WYSIWYG designer

Layout templates

Pre-built structures for applications, registrations and intake — one click to adopt.

Wizard sequences

Hierarchical step sequences with branches, save points and back-steps.

Multilingual

Per field, per hint, per help text — maintainable in parallel with a comparison view.

Preview & versions

Test drafts, compare states, trace every publication in an audit-proof way.

Responsive layouts

Columns and stacks adapt automatically to desktop, tablet and smartphone.

Data & logic

From the field to the data model, with workflows and customer-specific code.

Typed data mapping

Check fields against the data model — types, required flags and value ranges flow with them.

Validation rules

Field-, form- and process-level rules in plain language or code, as needed.

Workflow integration

Connection to the workflow engine, with states, branches and escalations.
