Designer
I. Function
The designer is the core component of the Oinone low-code platform. It builds a visual and convenient operation interface, significantly lowering the technical threshold for application development. Whether it's professional R & D personnel or business personnel without a technical background, they can efficiently complete application construction with the help of the designer. Professional R & D personnel can use the designer to accelerate the implementation of business logic and improve development efficiency; business personnel can participate in the development of simple or emergency applications to promote rapid business innovation. The designer serves as a bridge between business requirements and technical implementation in the Oinone platform, enabling people with different backgrounds to leverage their expertise in the low-code development model and jointly advance the enterprise's digital project process.
II. Functional Features
The designer focuses on user R & D. By providing visual operation components and tools, users can complete application construction with simple drag-and-drop and configuration operations.
- Visual form design: Users can quickly create various forms through an intuitive interface. Take the enterprise leave application process as an example. Users can add text boxes to enter the leave applicant's name and number of days, set drop-down boxes to select the leave type, use the date picker to determine the leave time, and freely adjust the form layout to make the form both practical and aesthetically pleasing.
- Automated process orchestration: In the scenario of a procurement approval process, users do not need to write code. They can connect the procurement application, department head approval, financial review, general manager approval and other links in sequence on the graphical interface, and set the processing rules and transfer conditions for each link. For example, when the procurement amount is below a certain amount, only the department head's approval is required; when it exceeds that amount, multi-level approval is required, thereby improving the execution efficiency of business processes.
- Rich component library: It includes commonly used components such as buttons, text boxes, picture display boxes, and data tables. When creating a product display page, users can select text boxes from the component library to describe product information and add buttons to set operation links. Even without professional design knowledge, they can create a fully functional and beautiful page.
- Data integration and management: It supports convenient connection to various data sources such as databases and API interfaces. Enterprises can connect to API interfaces through the designer to obtain market product price data, update the sales system, and perform operations such as adding, deleting, modifying, and querying data to ensure the accuracy and timeliness of data.
III. Application Scenarios
(I) Development of enterprise internal management applications
- Office automation processes: Used to build process applications such as leave, reimbursement, and document approval. Take the reimbursement process as an example. Employees fill in information and upload invoices on the application page. The system pushes the approval according to the preset process and provides real-time feedback on the results, improving office efficiency and simplifying the paper process.
- Project management applications: Help enterprises create project management applications to effectively monitor project progress, task allocation, and resource management. Project managers can create task lists, assign tasks, set time, and associate documents. Team members can update task status in real-time, which helps project managers to control the overall situation of the project.
- Customer relationship management (CRM) applications: Enterprises can customize CRM applications to record customer information, follow-up records, and sales opportunities. Sales personnel can enter new customer information and record the follow-up process, which promotes team collaboration and improves customer conversion rates and service quality.
(II) Development of industry solutions
- Manufacturing production management: Suitable for developing management applications such as production planning, quality inspection, and equipment maintenance. In production planning management, enterprises formulate plans based on orders, allocate tasks, and track progress; in quality inspection management, it records inspection data and traces unqualified products to improve product quality.
- Retail supply chain management: Retailers can develop supply chain management applications to optimize procurement, inventory, and sales processes. During procurement, orders are automatically generated based on inventory and sales forecasts; inventory management monitors in real-time and automatically reminds of replenishment; sales data analysis is used to adjust strategies to improve operational efficiency and profitability.
- Medical industry patient information management: Hospitals can build a patient information management system to integrate patients' basic information, medical records, examination reports, and treatment plans. Doctors can quickly query information to formulate treatment plans. The system can also implement functions such as appointment registration and payment, which is convenient for patients to seek medical treatment.
IV. Advantages and Values
(I) Reducing development costs and thresholds
- Reduction of labor costs: For software companies, using the Oinone designer can significantly reduce the demand for professional developers, lowering labor costs and the complexity of personnel management.
- Lowering the technical threshold: Non-technical background personnel can use the designer to develop applications after simple training. For example, the marketing department of an enterprise can build an event registration management application by themselves without relying on the IT department, quickly responding to business needs and stimulating the enterprise's innovation vitality.
(II) Improving development efficiency and quality
- Shortening the development cycle: The visual operation and metadata-driven development of the designer significantly accelerate the application development speed, helping enterprises to quickly respond to market and business changes.
- Improving code quality: The low-code R & D framework uses the mainstream open-source technology stack, follows software engineering specifications, and metadata-driven development reduces human coding errors.
(III) Supporting personalized customization and business innovation
- Meeting enterprise's personalized needs: The Oinone designer supports enterprises to make personalized customizations according to their own business processes and needs. From form design, process orchestration to business logic implementation, all can be flexibly adjusted to meet the enterprise's unique business needs.
- Promoting business innovation: Developers can use the designer to quickly verify new business ideas. For example, the marketing team can create a temporary marketing activity application and adjust strategies in a timely manner based on market feedback, helping enterprises to explore new business models and improve market competitiveness.
