Apps and the App Center
In the Joget ecosystem, you find various apps ranging from simple database-driven ones to more complex approval workflows and comprehensive solutions like Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems. Apps are web applications designed to run on the Joget platform. These apps seamlessly integrate workflow management, data administration, and robust reporting capabilities, empowering your digital transformation journey.
You have the freedom to personalize or craft your very own version of the App Center. Refer to the Customizing App Center guide for detailed information on customizing the App Center.
Step 1 - Accessing the App Center
The App Center is the default landing page within Joget DX, showcasing a grid of published apps designed to enhance your efficiency and innovation. To access the App Center, use a web browser to navigate to your Joget server. To access it, use the following link http://localhost:8080/jw. If you have used different host or port during the instalation, change the URL.
Step 2 - Login
Use the Login button on the left to access the login page and access the platform as a user. Each user's experience is tailored, granting access to distinct apps based on individual permissions.
A set of sample logins is provided in a standard installation to help you enter the system quickly.
| User | Login information |
|---|---|
| Administrator | Username: admin Password: Admin |
| Normal user (Employee) | Username: cat Password: password |
| Normal user (Manager) | Username: clark Password: password |
Step 3 - Find and initiate new apps
First, enable the Admin Bar clicking on the pencil button.
Click All Apps and use the search box to find desired applications.
For instance, type claim to spot the sample Expenses Claim App. To initiate the app, click on the corresponding app name, which in this case is Expenses Claim. This action will open the app in a new browser window, ensuring a smooth user experience.
Install Apps from Joget Marketplace
The Joget Marketplace provides an easy way to integrate new apps into your Joget instance, expanding your toolkit. You can access the Joget Marketplace within the App Center's by selecting Download from Marketplace.
You don't need a Joget Marketplace account to access it. However, you'll need to register for a separate Joget Marketplace account to be able to download and install apps.
After accessing the Joget Marketplace, you can search for apps that fulfill your needs and select them for additional information.
On the app page, you find the app ratings, price, images regarding its interface, and a complete interface. To integrate the app into your Joget instance, click Download.
Templates
Templates is a new feature introduced in Joget DX 8 that allows app designers to template existing apps by modifying entity names in the app design. To use the Templates solution, use the steps below:
- From the App Center, access templates by selecting the Templates option.
- Hover over any template to reveal the Use The Template and More Info options.
You can also use templates when designing new apps:
- Access the Design App tab.
- Select Create New App.
- Use the Create From Template to create a new app based on a existing template.
