The Process

Four Steps. Prompt to Application.

Start from a business prompt, configure with visual tools, and ship a production application.

1 Create Model

Three ways to create the model

The model is the source of truth for your app — entities, properties and relationships. Start it however fits: a plain-language prompt, the visual designer, or import from an existing database or application.

  • Prompt — describe the domain in plain language; AI generates entities, properties, and relationships.
  • UI — build the model directly in the visual designer when you want full control from day one.
  • Migration — for existing apps or databases. Nothing is modified.
    • Optional schema introspection — reads tables, columns, constraints, and indexes when provided.
    • Relationship inference — detects foreign keys and builds navigable links.
    • Business Object generation — creates clean, named objects from raw tables.
Connection Setup
-- Optional: add database metadata for migration context
Server=db.company.com;
Database=ProductionDB;
Trusted_Connection=true;

-- Enta reads schema metadata without changing data...

Discovered tables:
  ┣━ dbo.Customers (14 columns, 3 FK)
  ┣━ dbo.Orders (22 columns, 5 FK)
  ┣━ dbo.Products (18 columns, 2 FK)
  ┣━ dbo.Invoices (11 columns, 4 FK)
  ┗━ dbo.Employees (9 columns, 1 FK)

Optional metadata import complete.
5 tables · 74 columns · 15 relationships
2 Configure

Build the application layer

Visual tools turn your model into a working application. Each can be driven by prompts or authored visually — both produce the same model-typed, multi-DB result. No code generation, no scaffolding to maintain — the configuration is the application.

Expression Builder

Visual builder for data and validation queries. Drag columns, define joins, add filters, aggregates, and window functions — or describe what you need in plain language and let AI generate it.

UI Designer

Drag-and-drop form and dashboard builder. Data binding, event subscriptions, and responsive layouts.

Workflow Engine

Visual business process automation. 30+ step types, approvals, scheduled triggers, webhooks, and long-running orchestration.

Security

Deny-wins RBAC with data filters. Property-level, component-level, and row-level security — configured visually, enforced everywhere.

Page Templates

Pre-built layouts — list, detail, master-detail, dashboard, wizard, kanban. Start from a template, customize visually, or generate the whole page from a prompt.

Reports

Pixel-perfect reports with parameters, grouping, and aggregates. Export to PDF, Excel, or CSV. Schedule deliveries or run on demand from any page.

Themes

Design tokens, presets, and CSS-grid layout. Match your brand or pick a preset — theming applies across every page, control, and report.

Commands

Reusable, parameterized operations that bind to buttons, workflows, and the AI assistant. Wire the same command to a toolbar, a row action, and an agent tool — one definition, every surface.

Localization

Translate every label, message, and validation rule per culture. Right-to-left layouts, locale-aware dates and numbers, and per-tenant language packs — built in, not bolted on.

3 Deploy

Configure and choose your environment

Point Enta at the database and host that will run the app. Dev, staging, production — same model, same configuration, different connection strings and secrets. Self-hosted on your infrastructure, your security boundary.

Database

SQL Server, PostgreSQL, or MySQL. Migrations applied per environment.

Host

Your servers, your cloud, your container platform. Self-hosted, not SaaS.

Environments

Dev, staging, production. Same model and configuration; environment-specific secrets.

4 Run

Production application with full security

Your application is live. Audit trails capture every action. Workflows run on schedule. Security policies enforce access at every layer. Monitoring keeps you informed.

Audit Trails

Every create, update, and delete is logged with user, timestamp, and before/after values.

Workflow Automation

Background jobs, approval chains, and event-driven triggers run without intervention.

Role-Based Access

Deny-wins RBAC enforced at property, component, and row level. No gaps.

Monitoring

Health checks, performance metrics, error reporting, and import status — all in one dashboard.
