Joget Platform and Apps FAQ

What happens to my apps if we move away from Joget? Who owns the code/product features?

Since Joget is a builder and also a runtime, a Joget server is required to run Joget apps. But Joget apps that you built will always belong to you which you can permanently keep with you and even resell as a solution and etc.

Who owns the intellectual property for the Joget product and apps that I built on Joget?

Joget, Inc. is the principle of the Joget platform, whereas apps you build on Joget will always belong to you.

How much flexibility is there for front-end design or is the platform strictly templates?

Joget is capable of all 3 development angles:

  • No-Code
  • Low-Code
  • Pro-Code

Aside from the plethora of elements and templates available in the platform by default, for small/specific customizations there are places where you can insert custom back-end/front-end code, and for highly customized functionality you can easily extend the Joget platform capabilities via our extensive plugin architecture.

Is the platform better suited to consumer-facing products or enterprise tools?

Joget is agnostic on this aspect. The apps can be as simple as a customer-facing contact form, or even as complex as per your needs regardless of being an internal or external apps.

Is there scope to add any custom code into certain parts of the platform?

There are various angles where you can add customizations to the platform, and for bigger customized functions, you can take advantage of the Joget plugin architecture which provides plenty of integration angles from the form aspect, list, process, UI, etc.

How much user volume can the platform manage?

Joget can scale vertically and horizontally via server clustering and containerization.
The specs depend on a wide number of aspects such as concurrent users, processing intensity, database usage, amount of data generated in each app, and so on.

Do see the Deployment Guide & Advanced Installation Guide.

Why isn't there a Cancel button for the userview form? Currently, there is only a Save Draft/Submit button.

If your process requires users to "reject" or "cancel" a task, it can and should be designed into your process itself.

For example, in your form, include an option to "accept", "complete" or "reject". Or use a feature to allow submission of a form before starting a process by mapping the form to the "Run Process" activity.

Also, the administrator can manually stop a process while it is running. And to allow end users to withdraw their own started process instances, you can also take advantage of the Process Enhancement Plugin from the Joget Marketplace.

Is it possible for a user to access a form without logging in?
