Building User Interfaces

Learn how to build user interfaces and what widgets are.

In Heisenware, the entire user interface (UI) for your application is built visually in the UI Builder. The process involves structuring your app into Pages and populating them with Widgets to create an interactive experience for your end-users.

UI is optional

Building a user interface is not always required. You can create applications in Heisenware that consist of pure backend logic (e.g., for data processing or API integrations) that run without any visual front-end.

Pages & Navigation

Pages are the individual screens or views of your application. You can create multiple pages and sub-pages to structure your app logically, and then configure navigation elements (like a menu bar) to allow users to move between them.

The UI Building Blocks

Widgets

Widgets are the individual components you place on a page to build your interface. They are used to display data from your backend (e.g., charts, tables, gauges), capture user input (e.g., text fields, date pickers), or to trigger functions via elements like buttons.

Text, Icons & Images

Text, Icons & Images are static elements used for displaying non-interactive content. They are essential for providing information, instructions, and branding to your application.
