Hello
I have following requirement for my App1.The App should Run on Window platform i.e. ex-proofed tablets(e.g. Latitude 7212 Rugged Extreme) or windows 10 desktop/Laptop. The app should work offline as well.2.Basic functionality is that the app should create Plant Layout with some custom shapes(similar like Microsoft Visio) .It will take some parameter input with respect to custom shape and then it will save to database for future reference.3.The app will have the drawing canvas where user can drag/drop custom shape for the plant layout. In addition to this on click of the custom shape it will show its properties.
Refer below picture for the required app UI
Now my questions are as below
Is it possible with Appian to develop such app with low code?
Is Micosoft Visio + Appian integration work?
Any other suggestions are welcome.

For offline functionality, you can reference the documentation here: https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/19.2/Designing_for_Offline_Mobile.html. Utilizing an integration offline won't be possible if you are trying to use it directly within an Appian interface. You could potentially send data to the integration if you are collecting everything within Appian, but Appian won't provide drawing canvas functionality as you described.
For manipulating floor plans, it sounds like you would want to use a GIS system. Integration with Appian would depend on what GIS system you plan to use. The Web Content component probably makes the most sense to display the integration within Appian, but it really depends on the other system's integration options and what your use case is for the end user. You could also use a Component Plugin if the Web Content component doesn't provide enough functionality with the integration.
Thanks for the quick reply!
Currently Microsoft visio has lot of in depth features for the Plant Layout and we are looking for the same.
Is integration of Microsoft visio + Appian framework will work with custom shapes as mentioned in my above requirement picture?
