vFlow 2.0 Features

vFlow 2.0 comes with a variety of powerful features designed to make application development more efficient and effective:

1. Intuitive User Interfaces:
   • Build sophisticated, enterprise-level applications using easy-to-use controls and components. The platform’s interface is designed to be user-friendly, even for those new to software development.

2. Seamless Integration:
   • Connect various parts of your application through their unique reference names, ensuring that different components and modules work together smoothly and efficiently.

3. Different Page Types:
   • vFlow 2.0 supports various page types, including standard Pages, Subpages, and Popups. This flexibility allows you to design different layouts and user flows tailored to your application’s needs.
     • Pages: Standard pages for displaying primary content and functionalities.
     • Subpages: Secondary pages linked to a main page, used for additional or related content.
     • Popups: Modal windows that overlay the main content, typically used for alerts, forms, or additional actions.

4. Pre-Built Templates:
   • vFlow 2.0 provides ready-made page templates that allow users to create user-friendly workflows efficiently, simplifying the design process and enabling quick project initiation. Available page templates include Normal, Login, OTP (One-Time Password), New Password, and Old Password. Additionally, vFlow 2.0 offers various pre-defined templates for components as well.
5. Smart Configurator:
   • Since the configurator has a one view of page entities, it provides a streamlined path (Top to Bottom Page Journey) for creating, configuring, and mapping all the entities on a page such as different components, and elements.
   • You can easily set up and manage different components, elements, and entities within your application at the page level, making it easier to organize and customize your project.
6. Comprehensive Inventory Management:
   • Monitor and manage your application’s development from a central library using categories like Pages, System Components, Components, Task Groups, and Business Rules. This feature helps you keep track of all components and their status in real-time.
   • You have access to both the Configurator Inventory for page-level management and the Global Inventory for application-level oversight.
7. Flexible Layout:
   • Design how your pages, forms, and PV (Pair Values) behave and appear. The layout gives you control over the look and functionality of each part of your application.

8. Reusable and Duplicate Components:
   • Save time by reusing existing pages, components, or elements instead of building them from scratch each time. This re-rendering capability enhances productivity and maintains consistency across the application.
   • You can also duplicate pages, components, or elements and make minor adjustments to adapt them for different functions, further streamlining your workflow.

9. Easy Middleware Integration:
   • Connect your front-end application with the vConnect middleware application to ensure smooth data exchange between the client and server. This integration is crucial for maintaining efficient communication and data flow.
10. Extended Technology:
    • Material UI v17: Google designed UI component library that adhere to the principles of Material Design.
    • Angular v17: Get’s performance and security. With its robust features and improved capabilities, it empowers the vFlow.
