In-app development setup
With administrator setup complete, developers build applications directly within the App Designer using the Naia Build workspace. The process moves from natural language requirements through to a tested, documented application, combining AI-assisted generation with low-code control at every stage.
This flow applies to both Neptune DXP - Open Edition and Neptune DXP - SAP Edition. Two steps differ by edition and are marked below.
-
Set up Naia Build workspace: Orient yourself in Naia Build, configure your AI mode, and prepare your environment before you prompt.
-
Plan your app via prompt: Structure requirements before any code is generated.
-
Scaffold your app: Turn your approved plan into a working skeleton application.
-
Connect data sources and APIs: Connect your data sources. Choose the Neptune DXP - Open Edition or Neptune DXP - SAP Edition tab: Neptune DXP - SAP Edition connects to Neptune DXP - SAP Edition APIs and Ajax calls.
-
Iterate on the UI with Smart Inspect: Refine individual components visually.
-
Switch to App Designer for low-code fine-tuning: Take manual low-code control where needed.
-
Debug your app: Identify and resolve logic errors.
-
Test application across devices and share: Preview across devices and share via QR code.
-
Generate app documentation and technical analysis: Trigger background documentation and analysis agents.
-
Review history and revert changes: Audit changes and revert. *Neptune DXP - SAP Edition adds session-only online versions: see the edition tabs there.
