Setting SAIL with Appian 7

Malcolm Ross, Senior Vice President, Product Strategy, Appian
April 14, 2014

Almost one year ago, Appian announced an exciting new direction for our user interface based on the Appian SAIL (Self-Assembling Interface Layer) architecture. SAIL is a powerful framework that takes declarative UI definitions to generate dynamic, interactive, and multi-platform user experiences. We first released SAIL as a general UI framework tool, but have since rapidly evolved the capabilities as well as started to deploy SAIL as the UI architecture for all of Appian's next generation designer interfaces.

Appian SAIL is set to make big strides in 2014, providing not only a comprehensive end-user experience but as well powerful design tools that accelerate design and testing of new user experiences. SAIL works along side our existing UI frameworks, such as our leading drag-and-drop Forms Designer and Appian Portal interface, making it easy to allow customers to adopt new SAIL interfaces into their solutions.

We are happy to be hosting a number of presentations at Appian World 2014 to help our customers and partners learn more about Appian SAIL's capabilities and best practices. Sessions include:
