Looks good! Is it also possible to reuse widgets such that changes in a widget X on page A are also applied to the duplicate of widget X on page B? That would be nice for maintainability. I used to do this manually in the JSON by referring to the same widget ID from multiple pages, but it would be nice to have proper support for that.

Hi @sandervlot, 

We do have that feature on the roadmap, but it will not be available in the first release. We wanted to get the initial iteration out as soon as possible and gather feedback and suggestions. 

Some of the other items on the roadmap are the ability to select and move multiple widgets, the ability to search for Widgets and pages, and Keyboard shortcuts.  

Please let us know if you have more suggestions. Your feedback is always valuable.

Thanks.

As part of Application Management, we will also be deprecating two options that allowed users to access the Page Manager to create their custom pages on the cloud. These options are "Sidebar Open By Default" and "Page Manager Hidden" in the Application Settings.

There are 2 main reasons for deprecating these options.

1. Since the user will now see all the widgets, the page manager where grid layouts can be changed and widgets reassigned and moved, there is a good chance that the user might inadvertently either move and widget or change the layout. This could cause a lot of confusion and unnecessary changes. In order to avoid these situations, we decided to not provide access to the Application Manager to end-users.
2. We have seen very limited use of these options. Removing these options helps improve the performance of the WebUI by reducing the load of unused components.

Please let us know if you still use these options so that we can think of alternate solutions for your application and use cases.

Thanks,

Pratap

Dear Community, 

We released Application Management in 4.78 as an Experimental Feature, sometime towards the end of Feb 2021. 

With the introduction of Application Management features, widgets belonging to a page are displayed beneath each respective page. This allows you to manage the application contents by moving things around in this extended tree structure offered now by the Page Manager.

You can copy and paste widgets to increase the speed of your building an application. You can move widgets around by either dragging them or cutting and pasting them to the destination page. you can now rename widgets as well.

These are just the first set of features we have introduced and are eager to hear and learn from your experience so far!

We hope you have had the time to try out these features and have feedback or suggestions that can help us improve your experience.

We plan to make this the default option in one of the upcoming releases and would like to know if there were some immediate improvements we could make.

Please leave your comments below.

Thanks,

Team WebUI.
