CYPEX allows multiple developers to work on different applications for the same user Role to avoid conflicts in collaborative development. Since each application is tied to a specific role with access to particular database queries, developers can build separate applications independently.

The Merge Applications feature enables developers/administrators to combine multiple applications built for the same Role into a single, unified application. This process merges all app definitions and concatenates pages, reports, and menu items, ensuring that the final merged application includes all elements from the individual applications.

CYPEX supports the integration of external images. Add an image element to your desired page and click on the element for configuration: You may add the desired link to the image, resize the element and define whether the picture can be resized or stretched.

CYPEX allows superusers to make immediate changes. The edit-mode is only accessible to superusers.

However, in some cases you might want to change the application without actually using it immediately. To achieve live editing without harming productive users currently working with the application, you’ll need to use release management. Before we dig into that, it’s worth pointing out that CYPEX actually allows you to revert to a previous version of your application.

The CYPEX administration panel gives users an easy way to administer and manage CYPEX as a whole. Many functionalities such as …

• The generation of applications
• Security management
• Data model definitions
• Workflow management
• Extension handling

… and a whole lot more are all handled by this important and easy-to-use interface. In this section you’ll:

1) learn how to use the tool
2) understand how it works and
3) find out how to achieve your goals easily and efficiently.

Export/Import packages CYPEX applications into portable ZIP archives for migration, backup, and deployment across instances. Export packages contain all application components—UI definitions, queries, workflows, functions, files, reports, users, roles, and optional audit logs—in structured JSON format.

Info

Advanced Feature: Requires understanding of CYPEX applications, database structures, and environment management. For incremental updates, use Merge Applications or Release Management instead.

• Environment Migration: Move applications between development, staging, and production
• Backup and Recovery: Create application backups for disaster recovery
• Deployment: Deploy applications to new CYPEX instances
• Version Archiving: Archive specific versions for rollback
• Multi-Instance Sync: Synchronize applications across multiple deployments
• Application Sharing: Share applications between teams or organizations

• Selective Export: Choose which components to include (UI, queries, workflows, functions, files, reports, users, roles, audit logs)
• Automatic Validation: Comprehensive checks run before import starts
• Dry-Run Mode: Simulate imports without database changes
• Conflict Resolution: Choose how to handle conflicts (Prompt, Overwrite, or Skip)
• Transaction Control: Select transaction strategy (Per-object, Batch, or Full)
• Real-Time Logging: Monitor operations with detailed progress logs

Export packages are ZIP archives with structured JSON files. Each package contains:
