Overview
Generate app is a feature within Bizagi Studio's Experience Matrix module that allows Developer users to create custom enterprise apps efficiently.
When you have an Experience Matrix defined and ready, Bizagi automatically creates the app for you by clicking the Generate app button. Your app will contain all pages needed to include the Interactions defined for each Persona.
As soon as Bizagi creates the app, you will be redirected to the App Designer, where you and your app editors can customize it to comply with your corporate branding.
This article explains how to automatically generate an app in the App Designer editor, from an already defined Experience Matrix.
Before you start
•Your role within Bizagi Studio must be Developer or higher. For more information, refer to Bizagi Studio for Citizen Developers.
•To generate an app, you must first define the corresponding Experience Matrix in Bizagi Studio. For more information, refer to Configure an Experience Matrix in Bizagi Studio.
•You must have access to the App Designer in order to access, review and modify the generated app.
Generate an app
To generate an app from an Experience Matrix, follow the next steps:
1.Go to Bizagi Studio. Select the Home tab on the top ribbon, and then click the Experience Matrix icon located in the Apps group. This opens the Experience Matrix module.
2.In this module, select or create the Experience Matrix you want to use to automatically generate an app.
3.Within the desired Experience Matrix, make sure that the building blocks of your Matrix are correctly defined, and that your Matrix is complete.
4.On your Matrix definition window, click the Generate app button located in the top right corner.
There are two scenarios:
a)When there is no previous app associated with the selected Matrix, an app is generated, and the App Designer editor opens for you to modify the app as needed.
b)If there is already an app associated with the selected Matrix, the Generate app button changes to the Update app button. When you click the Update app button, Bizagi automatically updates the app for you. For more information on updating your app, refer to the Update app article.
Integration with the App Designer
When you generate an app or update an existing one using the Generate app button, the information of the selected Experience Matrix is integrated automatically with the App Designer as follows:
•The app's name is the same as the Matrix name.
•The app is available for the Personas defined in the Matrix.
•Access to the app's pages and controls contained in them is determined by the Matrix configuration.
•For every Create new records and Views Interaction in the Matrix:
oA Private page is created with a Small card control to display the collection or View information as dynamic data. The name of the Private page is:
▪For Create new records Interactions, the text specified in the Button display name property of the New record definition step.
▪For Views Interactions, the View's Display name property.
