Simplifier transforms your business process into a configured business application for
- Web Portals for Desktop-Browsers
- Mobile Phones and Tablets
- Wearables Devices like Smartwatches and Glasses
Applications run on any device because it is generated on common open standard technology leveraging OpenUI5 / SAPUI5
Overview
By clicking on the Applications tile, you will be lead to the overview. At default, there you will see a table with all the created applications. Within this table, you’ll get information like the name of the app, the app’s description, created by, and last edited by.
If you click on an application in the overview, further information and actions are displayed on the right side. On the one hand, you can edit the app name, switch directly to the application preview, or delete the application. On the other hand, you can customize the description, the app icon, look at the customization ratio and the version. Below this information, you then have various actions, in this case, Copy Application and Show Releases.
| App | It’s the name of the application. |
| OPA5 Tests | See how many test journeys you have already created and the last test result. Jump directly to the test creation for the application or run the application’s tests |
| Description | The application’s description. |
| System Library | The application’s system library used. |
| Projects | Assign all projects relevant for the application. |
| App Icon | Set the applications icon used for the launchpad, Mobile Client and Standalone Build Service. |
| Customization Ratio | After deploying an application, a code metric is available in the overview. It shows the generated lines of code and a comparison to the lines of code written by the customizer in events and script activities. |
| Version | The current release number of the application. |
| Generated with Simplifier | See with which Simplifier Version the application has been created |
| Generated with App Editor Version | As we have started implementing the App Building AI Agent Anna, you can see if the App is created with her or the legacy App Editor v1 |
| Actions | Edit application, Copy Application, Copy as Module, Show Releases, View Monitoring Logs, Preview, and Delete the application. |
You can hide the details on the right with the button right of the search bar.
Create a new application
When creating a new application, you can select between the legacy v1 App Editor and our experimental v2 App Editor.
The v2 Editor is based on a GIT integration and will introduce AI native app building to Simplifier.
Create your first application based on the v1 App Editor
See our Training Course Basic 100 to learn how to create a legacy application.
Create your applications based on the v2 App Editor (experimental)
V2 Apps are fully GIT based. In the first iteration, the GIT integration is the main feature. You can create your UI5 application using your favorite IDE manually or by using your AI Model subscriptions. We recommend using OpenCode with Claude Code Models Sonnet and Opus. For a detailed setup guide, see the docu on how to set up an external building agent with OpenCode.
To activate v2 apps, you have to activate the feature flag in the feature settings.
Restrictions
Currently, there are the following restrictions:
- App Building only in an external IDE
- Transport Packages have to be created manually
- Transport dependencies have to be created manually with the skill /sync-dependencies
- v2 Apps are not yet listed in the Mobile Client and the launchpad
- Mobile Actions are not yet supported
Installation and deployment
After creating your v2 application, you have to install it first to create the application’s base.
Afterwards, you can clone the GIT repository to your IDE and run /init-simplifier for initialization of your AI coding agent. Each commit has to be deployed to affect the running application. You can also deploy the application to your SAP Build Workzone like the v1 apps.
Transporting
You can decide in your transport package containing your v2 app, whether you want to transport the complete GIT history or the latest update only. Transporting the complete GIT history will lead to larger transport files and longer imports.
