MDM UI Builder Overview
MDM UI Builder allows you to quickly, easily, and uniformly develop custom UIs by using simple drag and drop methods.
A new tool known as MDM UI Builder is developed to have a cleaner, simpler, more flexible UI in MDM. MDM UI Builder can be divided into three high level feature components:
- User Interface Designer User Interface Designer is part of MDM Business Studio. It is used to design HTML pages for the custom UI.
- User Interface Widgets User Interface Widgets are a collection of UI components which are developed in HTML, CSS, JavaScript and popular JavaScript libraries like jQuery and jQuery UI.
- JSON Web Services JSON Web Services are used by the generated page to communicate with the backend to perform various operations like find record, add record, delete record, modify record and so on.
MDM UI Builder allows customers and TIBCO Field Engineers to build custom UIs for the MDM application. Using UI Design tool you can simply drag and drop the UI widgets onto the tree outline viewer or canvas to build custom user interfaces for their own requirements. The tool supports TIBCO MDM by providing access to complete data models, individual repositories, and repository attributes and their attribute groups directly from the tool's GUI palette. Currently only two levels of relationship is supported in UI Builder. It also allows to include custom widgets which are not available in out-of-box widget list. This process reduces the custom UI development time compared to the exiting methods and practices.
Once the custom UI is created, you can either export or deploy the auto-generated UI artifacts (HTML, JS, and CSS) from the tool to MDM application.
