Design Module Overview
Overview
The Design Module in the OneEnterprise platform is a powerful, flexible environment that helps organizations create custom connectors and automations to integrate systems, orchestrate data flows, and automate enterprise processes.
What is the Design Module?
The Design Module is a unified workspace that enables users — from developers to system architects — to build, modify, and manage integration logic and workflows that connect diverse systems and data sources. It’s a central component of OneEnterprise’s integration ecosystem, supporting both visual and code-based design approaches.
At a high level, it includes:
- Connectors - Interfaces to external systems and applications
- Automations - Workflows and process orchestration tools
- Library - Reusable assets such as mappings, objects, and stylesheets
Automations Designer
The Automations Designer provides an environment for creating workflows that automate business logic and data movement across systems. Designers can define:
- Triggers that start a workflow
- Conditional logic that determines process paths
- Actions that execute tasks in connected systems
This module supports both visual drag-and-drop design and code-based scripting, providing flexibility for users with varying skill sets. The goal is to reduce manual interventions and streamline complex business processes.
Connector Designer
The Connector Designer is focused on building and customizing connectors — the components that link OneEnterprise to external systems, APIs, databases, and services. With this module, users can:
- Create brand-new connectors tailored to unique systems
- Modify or extend existing connectors
- Ensure secure and consistent communication across platforms
Custom connectors are essential for enabling automation workflows to interact reliably with varied enterprise software environments.
Flow Editor/Debugger
Workflows created in the Design Module automatically generate a flow — a visual representation of the automation logic.
The Flow Editor/Debugger is a part of any automation or connector. Once you have completed your design, the flow gets created automatically for the process. With its user-friendly drag-and-drop interface, you can effortlessly select from a range of pre-designed flow units to define data movement, outline integration steps, automate tasks, and coordinate interactions between systems. You can open the flow in edit mode and adjust its process steps or its settings. The Flow Editor allows users to:
- Visually edit and refine automation steps
- Arrange the sequence of actions and transitions
- Understand process logic through an intuitive interface
Complementing this, the Debugger helps developers troubleshoot and validate flows by allowing them to identify and fix errors before deployment.
Library
The Library section serves as a library of reusable assets for multiple projects and flows. Key library types include:
- Enumerations – Define value mappings and standardized data sets.
- Objects – Manage business objects used across integrations.
- XSLT Stylesheets – Store and maintain XSLT templates used for transforming XML data.
This centralized pool of libraries simplifies design work and promotes consistency across automation and connector projects. This allows you to create, view, and manage resources that are used across multiple projects or integration flows.
How It Works
Once you access the Design Module, please navigate the menu on the left to locate Connectors, Automations, and Library. Within these sections, you can use visual design tools or code editors to define the logic and structure of integrations.
Workflows are constructed by organizing functional units within the editor, and resources such as objects or transformations are reused to ensure consistency and efficiency. Debugging and testing processes are conducted to verify that workflows function as intended prior to deployment.
