This is part four of my series on building a new workspace. While this is the final part, future series will dive deeper into UIB setups, key configuration changes, and techniques for binding data.
If you recall from part three, our new workspace was created but this time we look at the backend to see what App Engine Studio created. Click on Cool App and the three dots at the end of the line, then
As you can see, App Engine Studio generated a complete workspace that includes the most commonly used pages.
- Starting in the top left and moving across the page, you can see the URL that was defined during setip
- We can see the App Shell that was used to create this workspace. I mentioned the mostly populate one are Workspace and Portal
- Moving down to Pages and variants, you can see the URL path for each page.
- Order for the page, but mostly for which variants should show first.
- Audiences – is basically User Criteria.
- And finally Conditions as to when a variant should show
Let me explain a variant:
- a variant is essentially a version of a page that allows you to present different layouts, styling, or content without creating multiple pages
- How do you know which variant shows when there are multiples?
- Lowest order shows first
- Audience if specified
- Conditions if specified
Hopefully this helped you understand how you can quickly build a new workspace without building page by page!
This was a long 4-part series so if you read all parts – thank you!
