Low-code power users can use scripting (JavaScript and BeanShell) and CSS to enhance the front-end.
Pro-code professional developers can use any preferred Java IDE and development environment to build new plugins to extend functionality and perform custom integrations. These plugins can be reused by citizen developers in a no-code manner.

App Maintenance

Front-end Quick Edit mode can be enabled to allow administrators and designers to identify and modify forms, lists and pages directly from the front-end user interface.
Delegation of app design permissions to users or groups.
Easy deployment via import and export of apps.
App artifacts are stored internally as JSON and XML, with built-in version control.
Built-in Git integration to support continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) and DevOps.

App Store / Marketplace Integration

Seamless 1-click installation of ready-made apps, plugins and templates from the Joget Marketplace to be used as-is or customized as required.

App Templates

App Templates provide a quick way to rapidly kickstart app development based on pre-existing solutions. The templates are parameterized, so they can be easily adapted for different use cases when required. Seamlessly integrated with the Joget Marketplace, new templates will be made available over time to cover different requirements.

User Experience and Mobile Capabilities

App User Experience

Apps built on Joget are responsive web apps by default to suit various form factors e.g. desktops, tablets and mobile devices.
Built-in support for Single-Page Applications (SPA). SPA displays page content dynamically using JavaScript without reloading the entire page, so its main advantage is speed and UI responsiveness.
Many configurable UI themes are bundled, and additional UI themes are available in the Joget Marketplace
Custom themes can be developed as plugins.
Theme Builder, a new tool in Joget DX 9, enables businesses to create custom themes that easily modify their application’s look and feel to meet specific brand requirements.

Mobile Capabilities

Apps are Progressive Web App (PWA) compliant by default, offering native app-like experience including installation on device, fast and responsive UI, push notifications, and offline support.
PWA offline data synchronization is also automatically supported for compatible devices.
Native Joget Mobile App is available in the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.
Customized native hybrid mobile apps (built on Apache Cordova) can be generated using the Custom Mobile App Service, or manually customized from the JogetOSS Custom Mobile App

Internationalization and Localization

Internationalization and localization features supported out of the box, including support for right-to-left languages.
More than 20 languages available in the Joget Translate community site.

Data Model and Management

Data Model Generation

Application data model is automatically inferred from the form design and is automatically updated.
UI and process models can be rapidly generated from forms using the App Generator.
Developers and DBAs can configure and optimize the underlying data model directly in the database where required.

Data Model Visualization

Entity Relationship Diagrams (ERD) are automatically generated in real-time so developers can easily visualize the data relationships.
The relationships are also described in words for greater clarity.

Database Optimization and Recommendations

App designers can manually add indexes to keys directly from the visual data model.
To guide non-technical users, the platform will also automatically make recommendations on database optimizations.

Database Support and Integration

Support for major SQL database servers like Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL and PostgreSQL.
No-code Database Wizards are available for external database integration. App designers can visually configure database connections, queries and updates without using SQL code.
Developers can query external databases using standard SQL via Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) plugins for forms and lists.

Process and Workflow Automation

Process Modeling and Execution

Process designers can visually design processes and workflows with the Process Builder.
The process workflow engine supports advanced process-related requirements including multi-level approvals, system and human tasks, synchronous and asynchronous executions, user task notifications, deadlines and escalations, sub-processes, decision rules, and service level agreement (SLA)
Professional developers can use Java code to extend process functionality via plugins and for integration.
Case management supported in ready-made apps like the Internal Service Request (ISR) App in the Joget Marketplace.
The process model is stored in XML Process Definition Language (XPDL) format. However, Joget’s primary focus is ease of use and not in following any process modeling notations such as XPDL or BPMN. For example, the Process Builder is designed to even simplify the XPDL elements that are used. In BPMN, there are six or more representations of a decision, whereas, in Joget, there is only one.

Workflow Management

Map Participants to Users is used to assign permissions and task assignments to users.
Map Activities to Forms is used to determine the forms used for specific workflow tasks.
Map Tools to Plugins is used to execute business logic or system tasks.
User notifications can be configured for new task assignments.
Task delegation allows any authorized users to temporarily delegate tasks to a different user for a period of time.
Approval via Email app is available in the Joget Marketplace.

Process Monitoring

Built-in monitoring of running and completed processes.
Audit trails give administrators a log of actions performed by users across the system.
System and application logs are captured and are available for viewing or download.

Decision Rules Engine

Map Routes to Decision Tool plugins for process routing based on decisions and rules.
Built-in Simple Rules Decision offers a no-code rules engine.
Built-in Simple Tensorflow AI Decision plugin executes a pre-trained Tensorflow AI model.

Reporting and Dashboards

Reporting

The Report Builder provides a visual drag-and-drop approach to design customized reports with charts, maps, QR codes and more to create own customized reports.
The List Builder can be used to create tabular reports that can be exported to PDF, Excel and CSV formats.
Supports integration with the popular open source JasperReports reporting library. By using JasperReports report definitions, sophisticated reports with custom layouts and graphs can be generated and viewed directly within a userview, with optional export to PDF and Excel.

Dashboards

The Dashboard userview element provides the capability for multiple elements to be presented in dashboard format for better information visibility. The dashboard layout is customizable.
Dashboards can also be designed using Page Components and Information Tiles by customizing individual UI pages to include multiple forms, data lists, process listings, reports and many more components into a single page.

Artificial Intelligence (AI), Blockchain and Web3

Generative AI

With the AI Designer, anyone can now use natural language prompts, images and documents to create the type of application they need, and the application will be instantly generated with comprehensive enterprise features, including forms, lists, workflow processes, mobile-enabled user interfaces, and more. The complete base application can then be instantly customized using Joget’s intuitive visual development approach and natural language prompts.
An AI Assistant can be embedded directly into the platform, acting as a smart, contextual guide. It will provide real-time recommendations, answer questions, and offer data insights exactly when and where you need them, whether you’re designing a form or optimizing a process.
The Code Snippet Builder can consolidate code snippets into a single repository for easier management, and with the integrated generative AI, developers can easily generate code directly from the code editor based on natural language prompts.
The AI Writing Assistant can be embedded into any application. Integrated to generative AI, it acts as an assistant to help end-users compose messages based on any specific writing style.
The AI Assistant Live Chat plugin can be embedded into any application UI. This practically allows developers to easily embed a chatbot into their applications for end-users to interact with using natural language.

AI Agent Builder is an autonomous Agentic AI agent that can be orchestrated within process workflows to interact with applications and automate tasks.
With the Generative AI LLM Process Tool, developers can define AI agents that are capable of autonomous decision-making and problem-solving based on set goals. These agents can then be orchestrated within process workflows to collaborate with human participants or other agents.

TensorFlow AI Integration

Built-in Simple Tensorflow AI Decision plugin that executes a pre-trained Tensorflow AI model.
AI focus in Joget is to simplify the integration of pre-trained AI models into end user applications. The training of AI models is best left to machine learning experts so once a trained model is available, the goal is to make it as accessible as possible to app designers.
Example AI models supported include image classification using Inception v3, object detection using SSD MobileNet v1, face recognition using FaceNet, audio classification using ResNet, and text classification using CNN for Sentence Classification.

Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT)

With Joget’s flexible plugin architecture, app designers can rapidly develop no-code decentralized applications (dApps) that read and write to and from different blockchain networks.
Example integrations available are Hyperledger Fabric, IBM Blockchain Platform, Cardano, and Hedera.
Joget’s Hashgraph Application Studio simplifies the creation of decentralized applications (dApps), offering a more streamlined experience within the Hedera ecosystem.
