Introduction
Required moduleRequired module: App engine - UI Components. Check your modules at Admin > Licenses. To obtain this module, contact your IXON account manager or IXON distributor.
Definition
UI Components act as the visualization layer of the App Engine. They should be used whenever an application requires a change of style, for example to maintain a company's branding, or to visualize something that is not available yet in existing IXON applications. More simply put, UI Components act as the front-end of the App Engine module.
UI Components let you create custom integrated components in the IXON Platform. With them, you can add information or customize visuals on cards, pages (Device Pages or Main Pages) or reports.
About the SDK
UI Components provide an API and Software Development Kit to develop widgets that work in the IXON Portal on the web and in the mobile app. UI Components can also be used to visualize data in reports. UI Components are web components, so anything that works on the web will work in your UI Component.
The SDK can be found on GitHub: https://github.com/ixoncloud/component-workspace
