End-to-end development with Liberty Create low-code

Liberty Controller

From here, security, governance and management controls are provided for the entire platform. New apps can be initiated and existing ones managed — including control over who has access. Each app can have multiple environments (build, test live etc.) and extensive security controls are provided to define the capabilities different users and roles can perform.

Reporting for platform resources is provided as is an extensive audit trail for all system activity. The Liberty Controller is your central point-of-management for your Liberty Create platform.

Build your apps

Build Studio is where your applications are designed and built in an environment designed to foster collaboration between professional and citizen/business developers. It’s straightforward enough for business analysts to bring their understanding of the process to be automated to the table, and use their skills to build applications.

Code Studio can also be used by professional developers to make new capabilities available within the platform for builders to take advantage of.

Deploy and monitor

Liberty Create allows the development of powerful web and mobile apps and from the cloud, to manage their deployment and availability. When changes are ready to be rolled out, they can be promoted through test and live environments into production and can even be rolled back if necessary.

No software needs to be installed on client machines unless you choose to use the optional mobile app container. The platform offers extensive real-time monitoring of application performance — so the environment is running optimally at all times.

Maintain and change

Traditionally, maintenance of software is the largest component of any application lifecycle. Liberty Create makes maintenance easy. Processes and data models can easily be updated to accommodate new or changing requirements without the need for coding.

That makes it easy to onboard new developers and allow them to add new features to existing apps. The system fully self-documents every app to help. Now you can concentrate on the next process you want to automate and use the platform to make improvements across the entire organisation.

Build Studio

The Build Studio provides many capabilities allowing the creation of enterprise grade applications.

Build Studio is where your applications take shape. It’s powerful enough for professional developers — and easy enough for business people to use. Using low-code principles, you’re guided through the application build from the initial design without ever needing to write a line of code. Build your applications between 3-10 times faster, and maintain and change them with ease.

Key features

Process modeller

Define your process which drives the application flow. You can measure data as it passes every stage and you can easily update it in the future to accommodate new requirements.

Data management

Data models (that include built-in encryption for GDPR) and the relationships between them to maximise flexibility of the data your application processes. This includes easy import and export of data based on appropriate security privileges.

Comprehensive designer

Multi-level, responsive web interface design to deliver a great user experience for your users whichever device they’re running the app on. This includes the use of image assets, charting, PDF creation and extensive theming and branding options.

Multi-channel communication

Communication handling to send and receive messages to users of the application. Message handling via in-app notifications, email, SMS and social media messages are all supported.

Data exchange

Data exchange is enabled using a variety of methods including publishing and consuming APIs, ODBC support, SFTP and connectors built for specific systems.

Advanced security

Extensive security controls with support for multiple roles and privilege types, security authentication policies including multi-factor authentication, single sign-on (SSO) and firewall and access profiles.

System management

Powerful system controls including app snapshots, modules for sharing functionality and automatically-created application documentation.

Locale and accessibility

Localisation and accessibility features are included to make your applications available to the widest audience.

Booking functionality

Definition of timers, calendars and diaries for booking type applications.

Code Studio

The Code Studio allows professional developers to build additional functionality to cover any unusual requirements.

Code Studio allows professional developers coding in JavaScript, to build extensions to the platform to cover any unusual requirements. These can include bespoke business logic and data processing, as well as aesthetic customisations using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). This ensures there are never any limitations on the type of applications the platform can create.

Key features

Processors

Processors are JavaScript routines to process incoming data, outgoing data or manipulate existing data.

Theme packs

Theme packs enable the creation of your own headers and footers for your application. Once it has been coded and published, it can then be used as a theme by builders in Build Studio.

Stylesheets

Stylesheets can be used by designers to customise the appearance of interfaces and webpages to give virtually limitless scope to perfect page layout and add aesthetic enhancements.

Presenters

Presenters are templates for presenting a fragment inside a widget. For example, rather than display choices in a drop-down menu, a presenter could be used to display these using a different look.

Wrappers

Wrappers are templates that wrap around presenters, and together they define how a fragment’s value is going to be presented in an application’s user interface.

References

References are used to save a named pointer to a specific Build Studio component, e.g., the surname property of users or a specific configured API call. These references can be used within the Code Studio.

Test Studio

The Test Studio provides an automated testing solution that allows you to effortlessly create native automated test scripts.

Test Studio is the built-in automated testing solution that allows you to effortlessly create automated test scripts to regression test your application as well as increase its quality and stability. All this without needing any prior knowledge in code or testing.

Test Studio allows you to interact with the user interface and record any interactions and assertions that can then be run and executed as regression tests. Along with test, suites, executions and profiles can be created to provide comprehensive testing capabilities

Key features

Tests

Tests enables you to record interactions on the application and execute them as part of regression testing. Tests can be utilised with the data that has been recorded or used to run the test from a data file for data-driven testing.

Suites

Suites are a collection of tests that are run together sequentially either manually or can be scheduled to execute in the background.

Executions

Executions are the results that are captured from running tests or suites, and provide low-level reporting for each test executed.

Profiles

Profiles are user records that are used to simulate the user journey when recording or running tests.

Monitor Studio

The Monitor Studio enables users to monitor the performance of an application, allowing them to dig deeper into any errors.

Monitor Studio enables users to monitor the performance of an application, allowing them to dig deeper into any errors and issues with an application to find any problems and fix them.

Key features

Dashboard

Dashboard provides reports on server data, messages, APIs, import and export volumes, and general performance. Some of these areas can be drilled down to view further information.

Historical metrics

Historical metrics displays detailed graphs on the use of a specific application over time.

Detective

Detective provides a way of visually displaying the activity logs that are automatically created in the background for everything that is created/modified/logins/logouts, etc. in the deployment.

Event stream

Event stream provides a lighter version of the Detective that enables users to analyse and debug issues on the go at a high level. It’s a lightweight tool designed to focus on one process at a time.

Background jobs

Background jobs lists of all the scripts and the jobs they perform along with when they have run and how long they took to run. This information helps when looking to debug scripting-based issues.
