Mentor Update: Empowering Smarter, Connected Business Applications

OutSystems Mentor continues to advance low-code development with enhanced integration capabilities and improved data visualization options. With this release, Mentor-generated apps can now write data directly to entities in the Data Fabric or from any application of the tenant, making it easier to build connected, enterprise-ready solutions.

Additionally, two new screen templates have been introduced to better support high- and low-volume data scenarios, enabling more intuitive and scalable user experiences.

What's New:

Mentor App Generator Enhancements:

• Expanded Enterprise Integration Capabilities: Mentor-generated applications can now write data directly to external systems, including Salesforce, SQL databases, SAP, and Public entities within the tenant. More than just enabling connections, Mentor generates integrations with awareness of your organization's existing application portfolio. This avoids fragmented solutions and duplicated data, ensuring reusability, architectural consistency, and long-term value.
• UI Diversity - Data visualization enhancements: We’ve added two new screen templates to better support both complex and lightweight data scenarios:
• Detail Screen with Sidebar and Tabs: Automatically generated for entities with multiple relationships and numerous attributes. This layout improves navigation and organization for complex data models.
• Pop-up: A lightweight interface designed for quick edits on entities with fewer attributes—ideal for simple, focused interactions.
• AI-Powered UI Personalization: Mentor now automatically suggests a Font Awesome icon and header color for your app, enhancing the design experience with smarter defaults and expanding the theme properties driven by AI.

These enhancements aim to simplify and accelerate your app integration with your business, significantly reducing manual efforts and increasing productivity.
