Intelligent and Automated Navigation Flows Using Hyperlinks

The ability to configure pre-navigation actions for hyperlinks in the page and entity modelers allows operations to be executed before the defined navigation takes place.

This functionality expands modeling capabilities by integrating entity operations and business rule execution into the navigation flow, simplifying configuration and reducing the need for additional logic.

Key Highlights

• Execution before navigation
  Actions are executed automatically before the navigation associated with the hyperlink. Once successfully completed, the configured navigation continues, allowing operations to be chained within the same flow.
• Support for entities and rules
  Allows operations to be executed on both entities and business rules through REST APIs, covering everything from simple persistence scenarios to more complex use cases.
• Entity operations
  Supports actions such as creating, updating, and deleting instances, with specific configurations for each type of operation.
• Flexible parameter configuration
  Actions allow input and output parameters to be defined, with values sourced from fixed values, variables, page elements, or entity fields. Results can be reused in subsequent steps of the flow.
• Support for iterative structures
  Create and update operations support iterative structures, making it possible to work with data from components such as tables or repeaters and dynamically build collections of information.
• Business rule execution
  Allows previously defined rules to be invoked, with their parameters automatically available for configuration. Compatibility with complex structures, such as lists or arrays, is ensured through appropriate components.
• Automatic result updates
  After an action is completed, variables or page elements can be automatically updated using output parameters, ensuring seamless flow continuity without additional configuration.
• Secure error handling
  If an execution error occurs, the user is notified, navigation is canceled, and data updates are prevented, ensuring consistency and flow control.

Centralized Access to Instance Information

The new modelable Relationship Navigation element is designed to centralize access to all information associated with an entity instance.

This element allows a navigation menu to be configured directly from the modeler, bringing together related entities and contextual resources such as attachments, conversations, case information, and email messages. This enables users to quickly access all information associated with the selected instance.

Key Highlights

• New modelable element
  Relationship Navigation is introduced as a new element available in the entity modeler's elements section.
• Centralized access to related entities
  Allows navigation to related entity instances from a single access point, simplifying the exploration of linked data.
• Visual configuration from the modeler
  The component automatically identifies the entity's available relationships. Modelers can choose which ones to display and organize them according to the application's needs.
• Flexible content organization
  Relationships can be displayed horizontally in the main bar, vertically in a dropdown menu, or through a combination of both for greater visibility and accessibility.
• Access to additional features
  The menu can include shortcuts to additional functionality such as instance attachments, associated chat, case information, or related emails.
• Greater productivity for end users
  Reduces the number of clicks required and centralizes the instance context in a single location, making navigation easier without changing screens.
• Consistent experience between modeling and runtime
  The configuration defined in the modeler is automatically reflected in the running application, preserving the established organization.

Enhancements

Centralized Spacing Management in the Design System

Deyel now allows application spacing to be managed centrally through the design system using a new set of spacing variables.

This functionality enables spacing and padding values to be defined and reused without manually configuring units, improving visual consistency and simplifying interface maintenance.

Key Highlights

• Predefined spacing variables
  A new category of variables has been introduced to represent different spacing levels (XXS, XS, S, M, L, XL, among others), allowing abstract values to be used instead of numeric measurements.
• Centralized configuration
  Variables are managed from a single location within the design system and reused across all compatible elements, ensuring consistency throughout the application.
• Use in layout properties
  Spacing variables can be applied to properties such as padding, item spacing, labels, and menus, simplifying layout configuration without manipulating pixel values.
• Global spacing scale
  Allows the definition of a global scale based on a base value, from which all spacing levels are automatically calculated, maintaining a consistent visual hierarchy.
• Automatic interface updates
  Changes to the global scale are automatically reflected in all elements that use these variables, both within the design system and in existing pages and entities.
• Quick operations from the modeler
  Elements include actions to increase or decrease spacing levels directly from the modeler, streamlining design adjustments.
• Smart backward compatibility
  The system automatically identifies existing spacing values and associates them with variables whenever possible. Otherwise, it preserves the original values while indicating those that require review.

Starting from this initial version, participants learn how to review, refine, and evolve the solution by combining two complementary ways of working: natural language interaction with DIANA and Deyel's visual low-code modeling. As a result, the course goes beyond teaching how to use the modelers, showing participants how to collaborate effectively with artificial intelligence while maintaining full control over the application's structure, behavior, and evolution.

The training is part of the Deyel Learning Paths and is specifically designed for implementers, business analysts, citizen developers, and developers who want to transform business needs into complete applications with greater speed, autonomy, and long-term adaptability.

Key Highlights

• DIANA as a copilot throughout the development lifecycle
  DIANA supports the application modeler from analysis through application evolution, assisting with requirement interpretation, solution design, and component generation within the platform.
• Integrated development methodology
  The course introduces an approach that combines three key dimensions: business understanding, visual modeling, and applied artificial intelligence, empowering the role of the citizen developer.
• Greater autonomy for citizen developers
  The course approach enables non-technical and semi-technical profiles to build complete applications with less dependence on specialized teams.
• Build, deployment, and environment promotion
  The course includes content related to application build, deployment, and best practices for promoting applications across environments, supporting a more organized and controlled lifecycle management process.
• Monitoring with execution consoles and logs
  The course introduces the use of execution consoles and logs, enabling participants to monitor application behavior, analyze results, and identify opportunities for improvement.
• Hands-on experience with instructor guidance
  The training includes an instructor-led workshop where participants apply what they have learned in a guided case, interact with DIANA, and receive direct feedback.
