  [00:00:07.580] hi and welcome to this low code in xxx [00:00:10.290] webinar I'm Craig white from the [00:00:12.450] evangelist team at mendax and I'll be [00:00:14.370] taking you through today's webinar [00:00:15.990] looking at multi-channel apps so each [00:00:22.529] month we're looking at a different topic [00:00:25.019] and last month my colleague Sam and [00:00:26.939] black covered collaborative visual [00:00:28.590] development and you can find this [00:00:31.019] webinar if you go to Minh Dexcom and [00:00:33.120] click on demos in the top right [00:00:38.579] so as we've got here another just said [00:00:41.620] we're covering the multi-channel apps [00:00:43.539] this month next month mobile experiences [00:00:46.809] so online and offline mobile apps and [00:00:50.800] then in August looking at integrated [00:00:52.839] smart apps so looking at integration [00:00:56.019] with other services to create proactive [00:00:58.449] context-aware apps so the structure of [00:01:01.390] today I'm just going to carry on with [00:01:02.829] this presentation go into a demo of the [00:01:05.770] product and the web modeler and then [00:01:07.960] we've got some time at the end for some [00:01:09.940] questions so if you have any questions [00:01:12.399] then please ask them during the call and [00:01:15.009] I'll answer these at the end so mendax [00:01:18.280] is a low code platform that helps [00:01:21.119] enterprises collaborate between business [00:01:24.009] and IT and we do this by having a low [00:01:26.649] code platform that covers the whole [00:01:28.000] application lifecycle you can create [00:01:31.000] apps ten times faster and using 70% [00:01:33.880] fewer resources compared to traditional [00:01:35.770] methods of development so I found this [00:01:39.490] quote from Gartner the States [00:01:41.429] enterprises aren't focusing on UX and [00:01:44.160] aren't really delivering value to [00:01:46.149] customers so I thought well how how do [00:01:50.050] we overcome this UX challenge so firstly [00:01:54.520] I think we need to rapidly innovate and [00:01:56.770] test new ideas and by doing this we can [00:02:00.129] so by adopting an agile scrum framework [00:02:02.459] you can deliver quickly and always [00:02:05.770] ensure that you've got a working minimal [00:02:07.629] Viable Product at the end of each sprint [00:02:09.640] you can overcome app fatigue with a [00:02:14.530] great user experience so you really need [00:02:17.379] to give your customers a really good [00:02:19.209] reason to use your app and if this is a [00:02:22.030] mobile app a really good reason to [00:02:23.709] download and keep that up on their [00:02:25.269] device and then thirdly [00:02:29.790] to give your customers a choice of [00:02:31.799] channel so they can access and engage [00:02:35.760] with you via their desktop tablet mobile [00:02:37.950] and make the experience convenient for [00:02:40.500] them which leads me into multi-channel [00:02:43.790] so multi-channel as I say is about [00:02:46.739] making it convenient for your customer [00:02:48.560] think about what your customer needs [00:02:50.700] from the interaction with your business [00:02:52.980] and give them the best experience you [00:02:55.079] can and I mentioned giving your [00:02:58.109] customers choice so you may have [00:03:00.480] responsive pages that will adapt to the [00:03:02.400] screen size automatically you might have [00:03:05.370] specifically designed pages for a [00:03:07.919] certain device type and you might also [00:03:10.680] have a native mobile app for Android and [00:03:13.409] iOS and all of those things go it flow [00:03:18.239] into a continuous user experience so [00:03:21.569] ensuring your brand is positively [00:03:23.609] portrayed across all these channels we [00:03:25.859] want to ensure that that design and [00:03:27.510] experience is consistent and has the [00:03:29.730] same look and feel and then also having [00:03:32.370] a single platform obviously helps so [00:03:35.220] there are enterprises that may already [00:03:37.739] be multi-channel and have a website and [00:03:40.379] an iOS app and Android app but each [00:03:43.199] one's probably developed separately [00:03:44.760] updated maintained separately and each [00:03:47.310] with their own separate back-end [00:03:48.690] infrastructure and so if you want to [00:03:51.599] make a change then you probably have to [00:03:53.879] update it in multiple different places [00:03:56.190] and maybe different teams managing that [00:03:59.069] as well so I found this image which [00:04:02.340] gives a good example of a multi-channel [00:04:04.650] experience you have your customer on the [00:04:08.609] right-hand side with a phone and they [00:04:12.060] can make a request via via the phone [00:04:14.970] whether it's a web app or it could be a [00:04:17.220] native mobile app that requests then [00:04:20.669] goes to your planners your planners are [00:04:23.220] using a desktop site and then they pass [00:04:25.860] those appointments onto your field [00:04:27.630] engineer and then they can obviously go [00:04:30.060] and service the customer request and the [00:04:32.820] field engineers are viewing on a tablet [00:04:34.620] so here you've got know you've got three [00:04:37.409] different channels there's three [00:04:39.479] different ways of viewing your app but [00:04:41.400] the app you build [00:04:43.439] if you use the mendax loco platform or [00:04:46.139] have the same back end and your [00:04:48.839] front-end can reuse a lot of components [00:04:51.209] but you will optimize it so it works [00:04:53.849] perfectly across those three different [00:04:56.159] channels so this image here helps to [00:04:59.519] show how that would work and I'll go [00:05:03.479] into an example of this in my demo so [00:05:06.110] again I've got those different channels [00:05:08.189] there and you can see that the desktop [00:05:10.439] for example shows an image and some [00:05:12.449] writing in the columns the tablet is [00:05:16.349] showing that as an image in an image and [00:05:20.789] writing in rows and then the phone [00:05:23.369] displays them one on top of the other [00:05:24.989] and on the left hand side here I just [00:05:27.929] have a few things that I will cover in [00:05:29.699] today's demo [00:05:40.990] okay so firstly I'm just going to go to [00:05:44.550] men Dexcom and you can find the app [00:05:47.500] gallery by going to solutions and app [00:05:49.960] gallery now the app gallery is built by [00:05:53.650] the Evangelist team and we've made here [00:05:56.110] nine apps that showcase different [00:05:58.900] industries different use cases that [00:06:00.910] hopefully will inspire you in building [00:06:03.490] your next app but the reason I've [00:06:06.550] brought this up is because I wanted to [00:06:08.260] show you an example so here I'm going to [00:06:10.900] look at the claims portal that we built [00:06:16.650] and there [00:06:20.100] some blogs and some videos on this app [00:06:23.010] but the main point here is I want to [00:06:25.290] preview this app and here's myself [00:06:29.190] helping someone with a claim so an [00:06:31.950] insurance claim and here we actually use [00:06:34.650] a conversational user interface so you [00:06:36.960] take someone through a claims journey [00:06:38.540] now again the reason I wanted to go to [00:06:40.950] this first is because I'm showing here [00:06:42.390] okay what would you like to claim for [00:06:43.560] and I've got here two different items I [00:06:46.680] can tick this go to the next the next [00:06:49.500] part [00:06:50.220] I've also up here and can view the same [00:06:52.830] app by on a phone so this is now [00:06:57.030] simulating a phone and so now we have [00:06:59.270] Chris our other evangelists and this [00:07:05.310] will take you through that exact same [00:07:06.570] journey so we haven't had to build [00:07:09.960] anything different and we've maybe [00:07:13.500] mentioned that we've maybe said that the [00:07:15.480] the toolbar at the top will look [00:07:18.210] slightly different and when it goes down [00:07:20.250] to a smaller device size and what we've [00:07:23.070] also done is we've said that rather than [00:07:24.750] displaying the image there on a phone we [00:07:27.840] just want to show the categories but in [00:07:31.080] this but it gives you you know gives you [00:07:33.180] a consistent user experience it allows [00:07:35.610] your customer to engage with this [00:07:37.740] business so it allows you them to engage [00:07:40.620] with the same the same process and and [00:07:44.360] they can still you know they can still [00:07:47.490] get their claim in and this was a big [00:07:51.690] example of showing multi-channel here so [00:07:57.810] this actually uses the Atlas framework [00:08:02.850] so the Atlas UI which is the design [00:08:06.000] language built by mendax and this is [00:08:09.150] what you will get when you'll see will [00:08:10.920] go into the web model of shortly and you [00:08:13.770] get a number of phone templates and [00:08:16.040] responsive templates also includes [00:08:19.560] native mobile features and we'll talk [00:08:22.380] about more of this one in the mobile [00:08:24.800] webinar next month but we also have [00:08:28.919] across the top here templates [00:08:31.930] which you can use and this gives you a [00:08:35.600] good example of and the different types [00:08:37.700] of use cases and when to use these and [00:08:40.669] what building blocks each one of these [00:08:43.100] templates uses so you can see on this [00:08:46.370] dashboard for example it uses a default [00:08:49.460] page header and it uses the card metrics [00:08:52.160] building block so there is multiple [00:08:56.000] different phone templates there we also [00:08:59.600] have responsive templates so you can see [00:09:02.810] we've got some dashboards and dashboard [00:09:04.400] charts so it makes it really easy for [00:09:06.560] you to have a great starting point and [00:09:09.290] then if you want to you can customize [00:09:11.060] these further and this is all based on [00:09:13.460] open standards such as CSS sass and [00:09:16.340] bootstrap so you can you can change [00:09:18.680] these however you want and tailor them [00:09:20.990] to your business but the important thing [00:09:24.230] is these building blocks here as you can [00:09:25.700] see they are made so you can just drag [00:09:29.060] them into your app and it and as I said [00:09:31.640] it gives you a really great starting [00:09:32.900] point for building that app and then you [00:09:34.760] can iterate on that so once you've built [00:09:36.320] the first version you can see what parts [00:09:38.840] you might want to improve and change and [00:09:41.870] then finally we have widgets so widgets [00:09:47.360] again give you the option of introducing [00:09:50.900] some buttons and calendar options and [00:09:54.500] charts image carousels and maybe more [00:09:59.840] custom check boxes and there's some [00:10:03.740] descriptions in here of kind of how to [00:10:05.720] use them as well if you also go into the [00:10:08.120] documentation you can click on [00:10:09.980] documentation and it gives you some [00:10:11.990] examples of how to use that feature so [00:10:16.690] I'm going to go into use the MINIX [00:10:19.280] platform now and I'm going to create a [00:10:21.170] brand new app so there are some [00:10:25.440] Artur wraps in here and I'd actually [00:10:27.120] suggest that you do the introduction [00:10:29.610] tour it gives you a good overview of the [00:10:31.440] platform and how to build your app from [00:10:33.450] the from the beginning um so I'm gonna [00:10:36.960] go in here and I am actually going to [00:10:38.220] choose a blank app even though there are [00:10:39.750] some starter apps in here such as [00:10:41.610] building an event app or an asset [00:10:43.380] manager and and I'm just gonna choose [00:10:45.900] blank app and call this locating 30 call [00:10:53.190] it multi-channel so this is now creating [00:10:58.560] your app in the background it's also [00:11:00.900] creating an environment and a [00:11:02.250] collaboration space where your team can [00:11:05.400] work on an app together it's also [00:11:08.090] setting up a sandbox environment where [00:11:12.030] you can push your application into a [00:11:15.510] sandbox environment so you can view your [00:11:18.210] app and see what it looks like and [00:11:20.900] anyone can then view that URL to see how [00:11:25.170] your app is progressing and maybe [00:11:28.380] testing as well so give that URL to [00:11:30.750] someone else in your business and ask [00:11:32.490] them to have a look test your app get [00:11:34.050] some new ideas and also get feedback so [00:11:39.080] I'm going to go into editing my app and [00:11:42.650] we have a web muddler which we aim [00:11:47.790] towards citizen developers or less [00:11:51.330] technical developers or guess the other [00:11:53.760] use case is a developer can sit with a [00:11:57.720] business user and design the user [00:12:00.330] interface so really help them understand [00:12:03.300] what this app is going to look like and [00:12:06.450] then they can sync these changes into [00:12:08.490] the desktop modeler which is for our [00:12:11.070] more technical developers and they can [00:12:13.140] add in things like integration with [00:12:16.980] other services using the desktop modeler [00:12:20.510] so I'm going to start by dragging in a [00:12:23.339] new header and I'm going to delete the [00:12:26.310] existing one here so new header here [00:12:31.500] just can see name this and as you can [00:12:40.710] see I can inline edit now so [00:12:45.650] multi-channel apps so I can actually [00:12:49.710] just double click on the text box you do [00:12:51.720] have the option over here to change the [00:12:53.790] caption you can change the size of it [00:12:56.940] over here so very easily change this [00:13:02.190] change how it looks and you can also add [00:13:05.810] any design properties here as well so [00:13:09.030] you can change spacing and alignment [00:13:12.080] without having to know any CSS so I'm [00:13:15.810] just gonna leave I'm going to change the [00:13:17.340] title and leave the rest of it as it is [00:13:20.000] if I go into the toolbox now and I've [00:13:23.400] already used one of these headers from [00:13:24.750] this header list and I would like to [00:13:27.510] actually use a layout grid so in the [00:13:32.430] layout section I can just drag in this [00:13:34.920] grid and you can see now I'm given some [00:13:39.300] options here on the right-hand side as [00:13:41.070] how I'd like this layout grid to look on [00:13:44.339] a different device so if I say I'd like [00:13:48.570] 4 columns I can see that it's now giving [00:13:52.050] me an option to display these on a [00:13:54.150] tablet and on a phone so at the moment [00:13:58.080] I'm looking at the phone view I can [00:14:00.420] easily switch across here to a tablet [00:14:02.820] view or to a responsive view so when I [00:14:07.620] add my cards which I'm going to do next [00:14:10.470] so in here I'm going to add a card [00:14:12.270] action so very simply can add these [00:14:16.110] cards into each one of these columns and [00:14:19.580] as I said before this will now adjust so [00:14:23.339] I've now got 4 by 4 on the tablet and [00:14:28.710] mobile view which was really useful just [00:14:32.040] to give you a very quick indication of [00:14:34.140] how this is going to look so I'd like to [00:14:37.230] change some of these icons so I'm just [00:14:41.040] going to make this as a plus because [00:14:44.120] gonna add a customer say add customer [00:14:58.180] and over here I'm going to show a [00:15:01.790] customer list so once you've added those [00:15:03.920] customers let's show users there's also [00:15:10.310] a list which is a nice daikon as well so [00:15:15.550] customer customers so this is going to [00:15:19.850] show me a list of customers when I click [00:15:21.620] on it and just for completeness [00:15:23.660] completeness I will name these bottom [00:15:26.330] two and let's just change this icon as [00:15:31.910] well [00:15:40.750] I'd like to do is add a new customer now [00:15:43.000] before I do that so we've created a page [00:15:46.960] already and what I would like to do now [00:15:49.300] is create the the domain model so this [00:15:52.270] is where the data is going to be stored [00:15:53.860] in the background so in here I need to [00:15:57.850] create a new entity and I'm going to [00:16:00.820] call this customer and within customer I [00:16:04.360] need to create attributes so attributes [00:16:07.090] are your fields essentially so I need a [00:16:11.230] new one called name and I need one [00:16:16.870] called email and as well you can change [00:16:21.970] the type in here as well so I'm gonna [00:16:24.250] use a string here but you can select a [00:16:27.330] boolean or currency date time and all [00:16:31.240] the things you would expect if you were [00:16:34.260] in the same way as when you're using [00:16:36.310] Excel you can format data in a certain [00:16:38.650] way so I'm gonna ask for a phone number [00:16:46.089] and I think I'm gonna ask for location [00:16:49.120] as well because I'm going to add a map [00:16:50.440] in okay so now I have a customer and now [00:16:55.930] I have four attributes I'm going to [00:16:58.000] store about that customer now if I go [00:17:00.760] back to my page it's in my home page I'm [00:17:04.689] going to add micro flow logic to this [00:17:07.600] button here now a micro flow is as I [00:17:11.560] said the logic within mendax and so this [00:17:14.890] will perform a certain action when I [00:17:16.930] click this button so I'm gonna create a [00:17:21.040] new micro flow I'm going to call this [00:17:24.280] add customer because when we click on [00:17:28.150] the button that's exactly what it's [00:17:30.250] going to do it's going to add a new [00:17:31.570] customer so the first thing we need to [00:17:33.700] do is create an object so create a [00:17:35.710] customer object I'm going to click on [00:17:38.710] the properties here and select the [00:17:41.230] customer entity that we've just created [00:17:54.420] so now that's going to create as it says [00:17:57.010] there a new customer now the next thing [00:17:59.830] I needed to do is I needed to show a new [00:18:01.300] page so down here Handley we have a show [00:18:06.040] page button activity so I'm drag the [00:18:09.940] show page activity in here and I'll set [00:18:14.140] the page so in fact before I do that I [00:18:17.410] will select the object to pass so the [00:18:19.270] object is this new customer so I'm going [00:18:22.390] to select the new customer and so that [00:18:25.330] when it goes to that new page it's gonna [00:18:27.250] have an empty customer object to work [00:18:30.070] with so I'm gonna create a new page and [00:18:34.690] this is where it's giving me options and [00:18:36.400] I mentioned earlier when I was showing [00:18:37.330] you the Atlas UI design and the [00:18:40.300] templates the building blocks so these [00:18:42.850] are page templates in here that you can [00:18:45.310] select from so you have a number of [00:18:48.190] dashboards lists forms now here I'm [00:18:53.020] going to select prefilled page contents [00:18:55.060] based on the customer entity know this [00:18:57.700] is actually going to limit me now - just [00:18:59.500] the forms but that's okay because I want [00:19:01.720] to add a new customer and that's what I [00:19:04.480] want I'm gonna add here the title called [00:19:08.970] add customer and create this and now we [00:19:13.930] have a page I click this button here [00:19:16.270] that's going to actually just take me to [00:19:17.620] that page that we've just created and as [00:19:19.720] you can see it's already put in the four [00:19:22.090] text fields to give me the input fields [00:19:28.450] required for those four attributes it's [00:19:31.270] also created a Save button and a cancel [00:19:33.250] button automatically so a cancel button [00:19:35.560] we'll just go back to the first page and [00:19:38.020] the Save button will commit the data [00:19:41.110] that you enter into that data model the [00:19:43.360] domain model and again this will work [00:19:47.980] across different devices we can [00:19:51.070] customize how that looks another time so [00:19:56.080] now I would like to go back to the home [00:20:00.430] bit and so I would like to show a list [00:20:03.640] of customers so if I click on this [00:20:06.340] button here I'm not going to [00:20:10.119] micro so I'm just gonna click on this [00:20:11.829] show a page button because I don't need [00:20:15.759] to create the object I just need to show [00:20:17.529] the new page so this one is going to be [00:20:20.319] called customer list and I'm gonna use [00:20:26.529] lists I'm gonna use this list blocks [00:20:28.209] here so what I can do here is looking [00:20:33.819] and so first actually I need to select [00:20:36.459] my data source for this list so that's [00:20:40.449] going to be customer so now when I click [00:20:46.029] on the title here I can actually type an [00:20:50.099] open curly braket and select a name for [00:20:58.539] this text here I'm going to do the same [00:21:01.599] thing and it's going to prompt me for [00:21:03.219] email and then the same thing for phone [00:21:08.289] number so really easy it's accessing [00:21:11.799] those attributes in the domain model so [00:21:15.849] it's going to pull those through into a [00:21:17.019] list now a list view will repeat these [00:21:19.419] objects so we only have to amend this [00:21:22.359] top one here and as you can see it's [00:21:24.309] showing the repetition further down and [00:21:28.349] don't think I'm going to use this button [00:21:30.189] actually so I'm just going to display [00:21:34.779] the name email phone number and let's [00:21:38.169] redo this header to match the last one [00:21:51.910] it's [00:21:53.410] I'm here as well to make it a bit [00:21:55.360] different okay [00:21:59.680] now the last thing I'd like to do is [00:22:01.860] that's just not publishing this now and [00:22:08.740] just so we don't have to wait shortly [00:22:10.900] and so I'm going to get a Google Maps [00:22:15.090] widget I'm just going to put this [00:22:18.040] underneath here so first thing it's [00:22:22.030] telling me is that it needs a source so [00:22:26.470] in the settings here I'm going to select [00:22:32.040] context [00:22:39.520] and select the address attribute so I've [00:22:42.580] got location here I'm gonna select that [00:22:45.340] and it's going to default to or after [00:22:48.670] damn and actually as I said earlier you [00:22:51.790] can add some spacing in here so just [00:22:54.940] gonna put the medium spacing on here and [00:22:57.340] again without knowing any CSS I can just [00:22:59.890] select the medium and it's going to put [00:23:01.210] some spacing between these objects here [00:23:03.820] are these elements okay so think so [00:23:11.410] you're out to the home page so we've got [00:23:13.059] add customer we can add in those [00:23:15.429] customer details including a location [00:23:17.650] you have a customer page or we can view [00:23:20.830] that and so it's already published but [00:23:24.400] I'm just going to update those last [00:23:25.630] couple of changes so this is deploying [00:23:29.650] to the sandbox environment and I've got [00:23:33.520] a couple of options here so I can view [00:23:36.130] the app as a desktop preview or as a [00:23:38.890] fine preview so let's first to the phone [00:23:41.230] preview so this is a simulated phone [00:23:45.580] view so I can add a customer in here so [00:23:49.620] let's add myself in here and [00:23:59.500] hurt myself in London I'm gonna create a [00:24:03.309] couple more just so it displays and [00:24:06.070] nicely on hearsay I'll add some more [00:24:08.380] evangelists and Simon's often in that [00:24:18.340] Boston office so I'll add in different [00:24:20.559] location in there and I know Chris was [00:24:23.590] in Rotterdam last week say I'll put [00:24:27.520] Chris there and okay great so now when I [00:24:43.120] click on customers we're going to see [00:24:45.039] that information displayed in our app [00:24:47.230] now the reason is on this Google map is [00:24:52.150] because we haven't at least set the zoom [00:24:54.190] level so if i zoom out I'll say I'm in [00:24:57.309] London Boston and Rotterdam so what I'm [00:25:04.630] going to actually do is going to go back [00:25:06.070] and and make a quick change so if i go [00:25:09.730] to i go here and i click on the widget [00:25:16.470] I'm going to the zoom level change this [00:25:26.799] to believe 15 and I'll turn this auto [00:25:29.650] zoom off so I can see it's already [00:25:32.440] changed there and I'll just update again [00:25:37.049] so again this is just gonna update my [00:25:39.370] model online perfect let's view that up [00:25:43.000] again and I click customers perfect so [00:25:47.950] I've got myself Simon and Chris three [00:25:51.280] different locations displaying our [00:25:53.140] information now as I said before you [00:25:56.409] have an option here to look at this in [00:25:58.720] the desktop and it will work in the same [00:26:01.990] way you've got your ad customer [00:26:06.310] and then you have your customers but [00:26:09.220] it's it's gone now it's now got more [00:26:11.500] room to play with it's put these across [00:26:13.620] and that just shows that the Atlas UI [00:26:17.350] and the building blocks and allow you to [00:26:20.080] build something that's going to work [00:26:21.400] across different device types and the [00:26:27.700] last thing I'm actually going to do is [00:26:29.200] show you the last thing on the web [00:26:31.000] modeler is show you the theme customizer [00:26:33.480] so I can in here change the colors I can [00:26:37.840] add a different logo so in the top left [00:26:40.240] there was a mendax logo I'm just going [00:26:42.730] to add the Atlas logo and you can [00:26:45.790] actually go in to here and change your [00:26:49.510] different brand colors now we've got [00:26:52.150] some predefined brand colors button [00:26:54.250] since I've uploaded this logo it's [00:26:56.500] actually changed my color palette down [00:26:58.270] here so this is my logo colors though [00:27:00.490] it's pulled from this so if you update [00:27:02.590] your brand your logo for your brand then [00:27:06.100] you'll see your logo colors in here so [00:27:08.050] you can very easily say I'd like to pick [00:27:10.120] my primary and secondary colors from [00:27:12.970] your own logo [00:27:15.090] so once I've applied that style [00:27:19.560] we'll see that update in the toolbar at [00:27:23.140] the top so I've got that there now and [00:27:24.930] I'll just do one final update and we can [00:27:28.000] have a look at that change [00:27:37.790] so if I click on phone preview now we [00:27:40.580] can see the logo has changed there now [00:27:46.160] the other thing you all will see on here [00:27:47.630] is a view on mobile device so I'm going [00:27:50.150] to give this a try now so I'm just going [00:27:53.510] to connect up my phone and so what [00:27:55.730] you'll see is a mirror of my phone and [00:28:00.400] just connect into that now so I've [00:28:05.090] already opened up the ios app store and [00:28:10.540] i'm search for mendax [00:28:13.300] so on here i'm going to click open and [00:28:17.320] here is the mendax app and if i click on [00:28:20.990] the top left i get an option to scan QR [00:28:26.390] code so i'm going to scan that code on [00:28:29.600] the screen now and this is going to load [00:28:32.060] up the app that i've just built so [00:28:34.880] what's really nice about this is you can [00:28:36.290] actually test it on a mobile device so [00:28:38.780] we just saw the preview and the phone [00:28:41.120] preview on the on the browser now I can [00:28:44.570] actually show the app working on my [00:28:47.600] phone so now I can walk to a colleague's [00:28:50.900] desk [00:28:51.350] show them the app that I've just built [00:28:53.330] and I can show them it working on a [00:28:55.370] mobile and we have a navigation menu [00:28:57.880] here as well which we didn't look at [00:29:00.500] this time but you could add in more [00:29:02.150] navigation in there too to move yourself [00:29:04.070] around the app so if you download the [00:29:07.610] mendax mobile app you'll be able to do [00:29:09.710] that and show people you the app that [00:29:12.050] you bill [00:29:17.220] so ultimately you need to provide the [00:29:20.110] right experience for your customer you [00:29:22.510] should give your customer the choice to [00:29:23.590] engage with you in different ways so [00:29:25.150] whether this is through a responsive web [00:29:26.740] app which can be viewed across any [00:29:28.240] device or a native mobile app which can [00:29:30.520] be downloaded from the App Store and [00:29:32.550] which gives you access to native device [00:29:35.260] functionality such as swiping or using [00:29:37.780] the camera and and the other thing is if [00:29:41.050] you aren't sure the best what the best [00:29:43.030] way is then rapidly innovate using a low [00:29:46.510] code platform to test your ideas and [00:29:48.520] iterate upon them so you saw very [00:29:51.340] quickly I was able to build an idea and [00:29:53.580] build a simple app to store customers [00:29:57.340] and we could then iterate upon this to [00:29:59.920] add in ratings week add in notes about [00:30:02.410] each customer but making your app better [00:30:05.590] after each development sprint and what I [00:30:09.400] really like as well as the as I said the [00:30:11.260] mobile the MINIX mobile app where you [00:30:12.940] can scan that QR code and view the app [00:30:15.850] and makes it really tangible to not only [00:30:19.630] not only you and your development team [00:30:21.730] but also to key business stakeholders so [00:30:26.830] I hope that overview of how you can [00:30:28.510] build multi-channel apps with the mendax [00:30:30.340] low code platform has given you some [00:30:31.900] ideas of apps you can build yourself [00:30:34.050] please check out the app gallery and [00:30:36.780] join us for the next webinar Thanks
