Preview in browser

Perform device specific tests in the Mobile Browser Simulator: supports PhoneGap and Worklight client API


Worklight Studio – Common Code Structure

common resources serve as the basis for the optimized environments that may be added later. • hold resources that are shared by all environments.

lib directory stores 3rd party library files for the project

js (JavaScript files)• auth.js – authentication • messages.js – internationalization• myApp.js - application code

MyApp.html file is initially configured as main file

application-descriptor.xml• contains reference to "mainfile“• enable authentication (onDemand, onStartup)• worklightRootURL (application URL)• environment specific references


Worklight Studio - Environment Optimization

JavaScript from an environment folder is appended to the same file in the common folder

CSS files from an environment folder will be appended to the CSS files in the common folder

HTML files from an environment folder will override files in the common folder

images from an environment folder will override files in the common folder

Rich page editor (WYSIWYG UI construction)

Worklight Studio includes a new perspective available for Worklight projects. The perspective provides a default layout, optimized for development of hybrid mobile applications, including a rich-page, drag-and-drop editor, palette of components, properties view, beautified outline, and raw editable source code for immediate UI customization.


Worklight Studio - Runtime Skins

Skins provide support for multiple form factors in a single executable file for devices of the same OS family.

• Different screen sizes• Different screen densities• Different input methods

Skins are a sub-variant of an environment packaged in a single app

Decision on which skin to use is done automatically at runtime

Developer-controlled JavaScript file run at app startup determines which skin to load

Worklight Console - Data Collection and Analytics


Extended out-of-the-box reports

IBM Worklight reports tracking adoption and use of mobile apps and devices. These reports are accessible over Eclipse using the BIRT plug-in.� Daily visits per app� Daily hits per app� Total visits per app� New detected devices per app� Total unique devices – per server (cluster)

These BIRT reports are customizable and extensible. The data-warehouse supporting these new reports is also documented, such that any standard reporting or Business Intelligence tool can be used to create additional, custom reports per the needs of the organization.


Reports – Extensibility The structure of the database supporting these new reports is also documented, so any standard reporting or BI tool can be used to create additional custom reports.

Example: IBM Cognos dashboard showing these reports
