Core Terminologies of Workmaster
Before you begin building your first app, it’s important to understand the core structure of the Workmaster platform. Workmaster is organized into distinct tabs—each serving a specific purpose in the app-building journey. These tabs guide you through every stage, from design to deployment, ensuring a smooth and visual experience at every step.
Let’s walk through the key tabs to get familiar with how Workmaster works.
Design
The Design Tab is where you establish the visual identity of your app. This is your starting point to define how your app will look and feel across all pages and devices.
You can upload your logo, choose custom fonts, and create color palettes to align with your brand. Workmaster also lets you extract colors directly from any image, which you can instantly apply to your design. Once your styling is set and saved, changes are reflected in real-time across your entire application, ensuring consistency throughout the user experience.
Page
The Page Tab is where you create and customize the interface of your app—everything the user will see and interact with.
You can start by creating new pages using pre-built templates or design your own layouts from scratch. Each page can be renamed and organized to fit your app’s structure. Widgets like buttons, input fields, images, and charts can be added using the Widgets Panel and positioned freely on the canvas.
Once placed, each widget can be styled and configured through the Property Editor, where you can adjust typography, appearance, layout, and responsive behavior. The Widgets Tree gives you a clear, hierarchical view of all elements on the page, making it easy to rearrange or manage components with simple drag-and-drop actions.
To make your app interactive, the Page Tab includes the Rule Panel, where you can define dynamic workflows using:
Events – Actions that trigger a workflow (e.g., on click, on page load)
Conditions – Optional logic checks that control when an action should happen
Actions – The outcomes that result from the event (e.g., show a popup, update data, navigate to a page)
This no-code workflow engine lets you create rich, logic-driven user experiences without writing a single line of code.
Data
The Data Tab is where you manage all of your app’s data models—the structured information your app depends on.
Here, you can create custom data objects like Users, Orders, Products, or any other entity relevant to your app. Each object contains fields that define its properties (e.g., name, email, price). You can also establish relationships between objects, such as linking an Order to a Customer.
In addition to structuring data, you can view and manage the records stored in each model and create custom queries to power dynamic behavior across your app. This centralized data layer forms the backbone of your app's logic and interactions.
Bot
The Bot Tab allows you to build intelligent no-code chatbots that enhance your app’s interactivity and usability.
Using a simple visual setup, you can create bots that answer questions, guide users through workflows, or perform actions using data from your app. These bots can serve as personal assistants, onboarding helpers, or customer support agents—tailored to your specific use case.
Because bots are tightly integrated with your data and rules, they can provide contextual, real-time responses that feel dynamic and helpful.
Process
The Process Tab in Workmaster is used to visually design and manage workflow-based business processes. It lets you build structured flows between different user roles—such as initiators, reviewers, and approvers—using a drag-and-drop interface. You can map out how a task progresses from one participant to another using swimlanes, connectors, and event blocks, making it ideal for multi-step actions like leave requests, approvals, onboarding, and task escalations.
What makes this feature powerful is its integration with your app through process widgets. Once a process is designed, you can add widgets like WS Process Inbox (to display assigned tasks), TrackId (to track request statuses), and Process Containers (to initiate workflows through forms) directly onto your pages. These widgets allow users to interact with the process in real-time—submit a request, review pending approvals, or follow the progress of a submission—without needing to write any code.
Together, the visual process builder and its corresponding widgets help you automate and manage real-world business flows seamlessly inside your Workmaster application.
Run
The Run Tab is your preview and deployment hub, where you can see your app in action and prepare it for release.
Workmaster includes a built-in emulator that lets you interact with your app in desktop, tablet, and mobile views—all without leaving the platform. You can test how your pages appear and behave in different screen sizes and set rules to control what users see before or after logging in.
To preview your app on a real device, you can scan a QR code, or use a public web link to share your app instantly with others. When you're ready to go live, the Run Tab also lets you start the publishing process. With Workmaster’s integrated deployment setup, your apps can be directly submitted to the Google Play Store and Apple App Store—no manual build files or external steps required.
