Design Editor

The design editor is where you build the pages of your applet using a visual drag-and-drop interface.

Opening the Design Editor

  1. Navigate to your applet.
  2. Click the Design tab.

Working with Pages

An applet can have multiple pages. Each page is a canvas where you arrange widgets.

Adding a Page

  1. In the design editor, click Add Page.
  2. Give the page a name.
  3. Start adding widgets to build your layout.

Widgets

Widgets are the building blocks of a page. The admin supports many widget types:

WidgetDescription
TextRich text content
MenuNavigation menus linking to other pages or external URLs
FormData entry forms (requires Forms plugin)
FilesFile gallery or upload area (requires Files plugin)
ImageDisplay images
SearchSearch functionality within the applet
EcommerceProduct listings and cart (requires Ecommerce plugin)
Embedded ObjectEmbed external content
UserUser profile or login components
NotificationsNotification feed

Adding a Widget

  1. Click the Add Widget button on the page.
  2. Select the widget type from the list.
  3. Configure the widget settings in the panel that appears.
  4. Drag the widget to reposition it on the page.

Configuring a Widget

Each widget has its own settings. Click on a widget to open its configuration panel where you can adjust properties like content, layout, and behavior.

Preview

Use the Preview tab to see how your page will look to end users before publishing.

Tips

  • Keep pages focused on a single purpose for better user experience.
  • Use menu widgets to create navigation between pages.
  • Enable the required plugins before adding plugin-dependent widgets (e.g. enable the Forms plugin before adding a Form widget).
