FAQ

Bonita UI Builder (sometimes abbreviated UIB) is a development environment used for creating all kinds of interfaces, whether they are pages or forms or else, that make up an Application. It is a web-based tool that is launched from a Bonitasoft custom docker image. Introduced in the 2024.3 version, it is the new standard used in the Bonita ecosystem for designing interfaces.

Bonita UI Builder is available by default and for no additional cost in all Scale subscriptions. It is also available as a payable add-on in Access subscriptions.

Please refer to the initiation manual. If you have any other additional questions, reach out to our Support team.

Your system/server should have the following configuration for optimal performance: 2 virtual CPU and 4 GB of memory

There should be no change in your logic, continuous integration, and workflows. You can still manage them the way you’re managing them today. Just download the docker image and follow the initiation manual.

Your existing forms and pages will always be compatible with Bonita. It is also possible to have UI Designer and UI Builder pages coexist within the same Bonita instance to enable a smooth transition.

Eventually, Bonita UI Designer will be phased out as we fully transition to Bonita UI Builder. Our goal is to make this transition as smooth as possible, minimizing any disruption to your workflow:

Yes, you can!

Unfortunately, no. You’ll need to either use Bonita UI Designer or design your interfaces with the language or tool of your choice and integrate them to Bonita. Upgrade to an Access or Scale edition if you want to use Bonita UI Builder.

Bonita UI Builder is compatible with all Bonita versions starting from 2024.3.

Yes, it is. Reach out to your customer service representative to explore how you can migrate to Bonita Cloud.

Yes you can! You will need to declare both kind of applications in the application descriptor. However, we do not recommend embedding a UI Designer application inside an iframe widget within a UI Builder application.

It is a tag used to describe an Application made with Bonita UI Builder in the Studio’s Application descriptor.

Yes. We conducted a security audit with cybersecurity experts, and no vulnerabilities were found within the scope of Bonita UI Builder.

Yes you can. You can call external REST APIs, GraphQL APIs and PostgreSQL databases.

No, the UI Builder node cannot be deployed with redundancy. Currently, only a single container instance is supported, which means multiple instances for redundancy are not allowed.

Yes, it is totally possible. Note however that currently, only a single container instance is supported, which means multiple instances for redundancy are not allowed.

No, the local Bonita UI Builder server is mono-user, meaning it only supports one Bonita user account at a time. To collaborate, each user should run their own local server and work with a shared Git repository for syncing and integrating their changes.

While Bonita UI Builder does not natively support creating reusable components for process forms or UI elements (previously known as fragments), there are still many workarounds you can use to improve reusability, maintenance, and consistency between your pages and applications.

While Bonita UI Builder does not yet support automatic form creation from contract data, you can still easily interact with your tasks, processes, and data. Follow our dedicated guide to learn more.
