Application Workbench (AWB) is a framework that contains a set of business objects such as APIs. It allows the developers to customize / develop user interfaces with the help of Graphical User Interface and eXensys Developer Suite. API consists of a set of methods and members which acts as an interface between the end developer and business objects.

 

Application Workbench helps to customize eXensys ERP products and provides a standard UI technology to develop and customize the pages using .Net environment. It comprises runtime environment and graphical environment with special tools that are integrated in the Application Workbench.

 

In most of the scenarios, an existing ERP application may not be directly suitable to the client needs. In this case, definitely we need a mechanism to customize the existing ERP application based on the end users requirement and customize the business processes.

 

Application Workbench minimizes the customization effort and allows the user to customize existing business processes based on their requirement with easy user interface. User can add a new UI element or remove existing elements in a page and end developers can change the existing behavior of the business processes by modifying the code snippet using the Code Editor. 

 

Customization of the business processes using AWB is very easy as it provides drag and drop features to place the  control and design the screen with an easy interface. It allows embedding business logic with the intelligence eature. It also takes care of the database schema creation. Hence, AWB minimizes the development effort and does not require any specified skills to use it.
