Low-Code modules
Low-Code Modules are a set of development and administrative tools that enable the design, configuration, and publication of Eximee applications without the need to write code. They allow analysts, process designers, and administrators to create complete business solutions based on visual editors, predefined components, and a central repository of artifacts.
With these tools, Eximee implements the idea of citizen development – enabling business applications to be created by subject-matter teams while maintaining the bank's security, quality, and infrastructure integration standards.
Architecture and role of the modules
General description
The Low-Code modules create a coherent design and configuration environment that includes:
designing process logic and user interfaces,
defining data models,
configuration of documents, actions, permissions, and integrations,
application version and migration management.
Each module is responsible for a different aspect of the application lifecycle:
Application modeling
Application Designer
Creating and organizing low-code applications
Data
Data Model Designer
Defining the data structure
Forms
Form Designer
Creating forms and screens
Logic
Script Code Tools
Editing business logic (scripts)
Documents
Document Generator Tools
Designing PDF templates
Processes
Process Designer
BPMN process modeling
Cases and screens
Case Management Designer
Configuration of screens and case lists
Application configuration
Configuration
Central management of business parameters
Application Designer
Description
Application Designer is the central low-code editor used to create and manage Eximee applications.
It enables grouping all application artifacts (forms, processes, data models, documents, etc.) into logical application units.
Functionality
Creating new low-code applications.
Versioning and publishing applications.
Linking applications with environment configurations.
Authentication of design users via AD or LDAP.
Migration of applications between environments (DEV, UAT, PROD).
Integration with Eximee Repository for versioning and dependency control.
Use
It is the main working tool for analysts and application administrators, and the starting point for editing all other components (forms, processes, data models, etc.).
Data Model Designer
Description
Data Model Designer is used to define the data model for a low-code application.
It enables the creation of object structures, relationships, and validation rules in visual form.
Functionality
Defining data fields and their types.
Modeling relationships between objects.
Determining data sources (internal and external).
Integration with Eximee Model Runtime, which executes the data model in the runtime environment.
Technical features
Validation of model correctness before publication.
Support for versioning data structures.
Automatic generation of JSON structures based on changes in the GUI
Form Designer
Description
Form Designer is a graphical editor that enables the design of Eximee electronic forms in the mode drag & drop.
It enables the creation of user interfaces without programming.
Functionality
Creating forms from simple and complex components.
Preview in the final visual style (Design Style Guide).
Defining pages, steps, and form completion progress.
Managing field visibility, business logic, and data sources.
Integration with processes (start and user task).
Support for multilingualism and WCAG.
Parameterization of actions performed after saving or submitting a form.
Use
UX designers and analysts can create complete forms, which are then run in Eximee Forms in various contexts (Portal, eBanking, BackOffice).
Script Code Tools
Description
Script Code Tools is the business logic editor in the form of scripts (JavaScript).
It allows defining form behavior, data operations, and step logic in processes.
Functionality
Script editing in the browser with syntax hints.
Testing business logic from within the tool.
Creating and versioning logic fragments (re-use).
Defining validation rules, automatic calculations, and data transformations.
Integration with Process Designer and Form Designer.
Technical features
Sandboxing mechanism (script isolation).
Syntax validation.
Unit tests.
Document Generator Tools
Description
Document Generator Tools is used to define PDF document templates generated by the Eximee Document Generator.
It enables the creation of dynamic documents compliant with the bank's requirements.
Functionality
Designing document templates (agreements, confirmations, reports).
Support for dynamic sections, tables, and visibility conditions.
Inserting barcodes and QR codes.
Preview of the finished document with test data.
Full compliance with the bank's graphic design and branding.
Integrations
With Eximee Model Runtime – to fetch data for filling out the document.
With Eximee Configuration Server – for environment parameters (logo, signatures, seals).
Process Designer
Description
Process Designer is a browser-based workflow process editor compliant with the notation BPMN 2.0.
It allows designing and documenting business processes, which are then executed in the module Eximee BPMS.
Functionality
Graphical process modeling (start, tasks, gateway, events).
Attaching Eximee Forms as user tasks.
Defining scripts and automatic actions (ScriptCode).
Documenting processes (notes, descriptions, rules).
Validation of BPMN model correctness.
Use
It enables the creation of complete business processes (e.g. applications, instructions, complaints) without the need for backend coding.
Case Management Designer
Description
Case Management Designer is used to configure Case Management application screens – including task lists, case lists, detailed views, and tile layouts.
It allows the presentation layer of the operational user's work to be fully customized.
Functionality
Defining task and case list views (columns, filters, sorting).
Creating screen layouts and the placement of microapps.
Indicating microfrontends launched in the appropriate contexts.
Designing visual tiles and management dashboards.
Integration with Eximee Repository for publishing and configuration migration.
Configuration
Description
Configuration is a module used for central management of the business configuration of low-code applications.
It allows defining configuration values that can be used by other application components.
Functionality
Defining simple values, lists, objects.
Versioning and migrating configuration between environments.
Control of permissions and access to configuration parameters.
Integration with Eximee Configuration Server for dynamic loading of configuration at runtime.
Common features and deployment parameters
Environment consistency: all tools share Eximee Repository and a unified authorization model.
Low-Code by Design: each application element is created visually, with the option to extend it with scripts.
Security: full authorization of design users (AD/LDAP), version control, and change auditing.
Reusability: components (forms, models, processes) can be shared between applications.
Versioning and migrations: support for the application lifecycle in DEV–UAT–PROD environments.
Customization: the ability to adapt the tool layout to the needs of project teams.
