Platform Web Client

Once the Application is generated, as described in Part Getting Started, the Platform Web Client, or Web Client, is accessible from a browser. For more details, please refer to Section Accessing the Application Endpoints.

The Web Client is an extensible and configurable Angular application. The generated frontend project contains an empty Angular application that uses the Platform Web Client Library.

Web Client applications rely on Workspaces and Scenarios to store application data. For more details, please refer to the chapter Scenario Management.

The Platform Web Client is composed of three main parts: the Topbar, the Sidenav and the Central Area.

Platform Web Client UI

The first time the Platform Web Client is started, it contains an initial configuration with the:

Public Workspace as the only workspace, as displayed in the Sidenav Workspace Selector;
Home View as the only View listed in the Sidenav List; and
Select a Scenario — as no scenario exists in the workspace — in the Scenario Selector.

After understanding the Web Client interface, one can customize and manage the application configuration. For more details, please refer to Chapter Configuring the Application.
