User Experience Services

Code-Free User Interface Creation Including Pages, Forms, Lookups, and Reports

Developing and debugging user interface style and compatibility issues can be a serious drain on IT productivity. The Dot Net Workflow platform replaces this tedious task with a code free user interface designer, allowing solution developers to focus on higher value tasks, such as automating specific business processes.

Write Once Run Almost Anywhere User Interfaces

The Dot Net Workflow platform includes the ability to design user interfaces in drag-and-drop code-free designers that automatically run on in the web, Silverlight, and the Windows Presentation Foundation Click Once client without requiring any modifications or knowledge of these development platforms. Each platform either downloads the necessary components automatically from the central source control database or interprets this information to dynamically render the corresponding user interface.

Page flow in a Dot Net Workflow process is handled by using workflow activities within the workflow design for the forms, lookups, and other user interface controls that a user sees during the course of a workflow process. Workflow Studio designers provide a drag-and-drop What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) environment for creating these user interface activities that does not require the workflow developer to have coding or design skills. WYSIWYG designers are also included for creating pages, ribbon styled menus, and reports.

Developers can also create entirely custom WPF XAML applications in Workflow Studio. These applications are compiled and stored in the SQL metadirectory. The Dot Net Workflow WPF Click Once client downloads these applications automatically over its web services communications layer and loads them for users who are authorized to run the application.

Secure By Default Workflows and User Interfaces

The Dot Net Workflow platform provides workflow designers and developers with a complete security framework that frees them from writing tedious and error prone security code, as well as providing them a rich basis for creating security trimmed user interfaces. All user interface elements in Dot Net Workflow solutions, including workflows, pages, ribbon menu buttons, and user interface controls, are RBAC resources. Each of these RBAC resources can be registered as a protected resource, allowing visibility for external control through role-based delegation policies. This allows interfaces to be dynamic and responsive to the security access level of the user without requiring that the developer write this logic into the application. Access to workflows and application elements is also auditable and reportable with default workflows for requesting or granting access.
