Design Module Overview

Overview

The Design Module in the OneEnterprise platform is a flexible environment that helps organizations create custom connectors and automations. Use it to integrate systems, orchestrate data flows, and automate enterprise processes.

What is the Design Module?

The Design Module is a unified workspace where developers, system architects, and integration teams build, modify, and manage the logic and workflows that connect systems and data sources. The module is a central component of the OneEnterprise integration ecosystem and supports both visual and code-based design.

The Design Module includes the following components:

  • Dashboard — Provides a centralized hub for design performance.
  • Connectors — Provide interfaces to external systems and applications.
  • Automations — Provide workflows and process orchestration.
  • Library — Stores 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. Use the Automations Designer to define:

  • Triggers that start a workflow.
  • Conditions that determine process paths.
  • Actions that execute tasks in connected systems.

The Automations Designer supports visual drag-and-drop design and code-based scripting, which gives users with different skill levels the flexibility to streamline complex business processes and reduce manual effort.

Connector Designer

The Connector Designer focuses on building and customizing connectors — the components that link OneEnterprise to external systems, APIs, databases, and services. Use the Connector Designer to:

  • Create new connectors tailored to unique systems.
  • Modify or extend existing connectors.
  • Maintain secure and consistent communication across platforms.

Custom connectors enable automation workflows to interact reliably with diverse enterprise software environments.

Flow Editor and Debugger

Every automation or connector you build automatically generates a flow — a visual representation of its logic. The drag-and-drop interface lets you select from a range of pre-built flow units to define data movement, set integration steps, automate tasks, and coordinate interactions between systems. You can open a flow in edit mode to adjust its steps or settings.

Use the Flow Editor to:

  • Edit and refine automation steps visually.
  • Arrange the sequence of actions and transitions.
  • Trace process logic through an intuitive interface.

The Debugger helps you troubleshoot and validate flows by identifying errors before deployment.

Library

The Library section stores reusable assets that you can apply across multiple projects and flows, which keeps automation and connector designs consistent. Key library types include:

  • Enumerations — Define value mappings and standardized data sets.
  • Objects — Manage business objects used across integrations.
  • XSLT Stylesheets — Store and maintain templates that transform XML data.

Use the Library to create, view, and manage resources that you reuse across integration flows.
