SCION Workbench

The SCION Workbench provides a workbench layout for Angular applications.

Workbench layouts are useful for applications with non-linear workflows where users want to flexibly view and edit content in parallel. Examples include specialized business applications, scientific or development tools, as well as command & control interfaces.

The SCION Workbench supports tabbed views that enable users to arrange content to fit their individual needs. Fixed areas can be defined to display additional information or context-sensitive assistance. In addition, typical workbench controls such as overlays, message boxes, and notification ribbons are available.

Although SCION Workbench is designed for use in Angular applications, its workbench layout is particularly well suited for implementing a framework-agnostic microfrontend architecture, as different web applications can contribute views in the form of microfrontends. SCION Workbench has built-in microfrontend support from the SCION Microfrontend Platform, a lightweight library for embedding microfrontends. Microfrontends embedded as views can interact seamlessly with the workbench using the SCION Workbench Client or communicate with other microfrontends via the SCION Microfrontend Platform. Any web application can be integrated as a workbench view. Likewise, a workbench view can embed further microfrontends, and so on.
