This chapter introduces the Convertigo Dashboard and shows how to use Dashboard, Backend, Frontend and Packages for a project.

This chapter introduces and describes how to use the Convertigo Dashboard (formerly named Test Platform).

The examples in this chapter use the sampleMobileRetailStore project.

You can access the Dashboard directly at:

http://<server>:<port>/convertigo/dashboard/

Dashboard

The Dashboard home page lists deployed projects and provides quick access to project tools.

Main features:

  • Search/filter projects from the top search box.
  • Filter by project type (Backend, Frontend, Library, Project).
  • Open project actions directly: Backend, Frontend, References, Packages (currently labeled Platforms in this build), Swagger.

Backend

The Backend view lets you browse and execute requestables (Sequences and Transactions).

With sampleMobileRetailStore:

  • Open the project backend from the Dashboard list.
  • Expand a requestable (for example fill_server_database).
  • Choose a response format (JSON, XML, BIN, CXML) and run it with Execute.
  • Use the visibility filters to show or hide private/hidden/public requestables.

With sampleMobileRetailStore, you can:

  • Select a device profile from the left panel (for example iPhone models).
  • Preview the app in the embedded frame.
  • Use navigation, reload, zoom, rotate, and open-in-new-tab controls.

The Packages view (currently labeled Platforms in this build) is the build/package area for mobile platforms.

With sampleMobileRetailStore, this page provides:

  • Project mobile metadata (endpoint, application id, version).
  • Package/build information per platform (Android/iOS), including revisions and Cordova version.
  • Download links (for example source package) and QR code access for generated packages.
  • Build Platform action to trigger a new build.
