Consumer Goods Modeler for offline mobile app customization
Key Takeaway
You customize the Agentforce Consumer Goods offline mobile app by editing XML design contracts in CG Modeler and building them into a deployment package. The app downloads that package during sync, which turns the empty app framework into your company's customized app.
CG Modeler is a tool that you run in Visual Studio Code on your own machine. You use it to configure and customize the UI, processes and data of the Agentforce Consumer Goods offline mobile app. You change XML files called design contracts, test them in a simulator, and build them into a deployment package. The app that users install starts as an empty framework. Downloading your deployment package during sync turns the app into your company's version.
What CG Modeler does
CG Modeler, also called the Visual Studio Code based Modeler, configures and customizes the user interface and processes of the Agentforce Consumer Goods offline mobile app. Sales reps and other field staff use the offline mobile app for work such as store audits and product surveys, even when there is no network connectivity.
Use the Modeler for these changes:
- Extend the mobile data model.
- Extend business functionality, such as data validation.
- Add new UI elements.
- Create mobile UI themes.
- Translate labels and messages.
- Customize cockpits.
UIPluginV2 controls in the Modeler build charts in the app, such as a report on a cockpit card on the "Your Day" screen. You can also model buttons that open other allowlisted apps from the offline mobile app.
Don't use the Modeler to create or customize any app other than the Agentforce Consumer Goods mobile app.
