Anthem Design System
Anthem is TraceLink's design system that establishes platform-wide design conventions to help you create and configure your solutions to meet your users' and business’s needs. The Anthem Design System defines how to use the essential framework, grid, styling, components, and patterns needed to design UIs, menus, and more on the OPUS Platform. This ensures consistency across all solution experiences, regardless of whether the solution is provided by TraceLink, TraceLink customers, TraceLink clients, or a Solution Partner, who builds and configures solutions on the OPUS Platform. Our goal is to empower users with a platform that emphasizes expediency, flexibility, consistency, and innovation.
This information is intended for anyone creating a solution with the OPUS Solution Environment (OSE). Users of OSE, known as Solution Designers, should follow these best practices and principles to deliver quality experiences across all solutions on the OPUS Platform.
Our design principles are focused on object-driven no-code products for enterprise and multienterprise use cases. These principles serve as the foundation for how to think about configuring business objects, workflows, menus, UIs, roles, policies, and notifications while guiding all of us in delivering effective solutions to complex problems for years to come. Welcome to a new era of no-code configuration, where your business needs are met with speed, precision, and creativity.
Expediency
In today's fast-paced business environment, time is of the essence. Our platform is designed to streamline processes, enabling rapid configuration and deployment. We’ve shortened the time it takes from having an idea (concept) to seeing it on the screen (implementation), so you can quickly revise and iterate on your own.
Flexibility
No 2 businesses are alike, and our platform reflects this by offering configurable and adaptable design options. Whether you need a simple out-of-the-box solution or a more complex solution tailored to a particular problem, our system is designed to scale and evolve with your needs.
Consistency
A unified and predictable user experience (UX) enables productivity and user success. Our design conventions ensure that the experience is reliable and cohesive, regardless of the configurations or the user. This consistency helps maintain a seamless experience across different environments, products, and use cases.
Innovation
We are committed to continuously improving and staying ahead of industry trends. Our platform is unique in that it taps into the power of the TraceLink Network, which drives innovation across vast supply chain challenges. The OPUS Platform not only supports current needs but also anticipates future demands. We encourage companies to push the boundaries of no-code solutions, fostering a culture of creativity and forward-thinking.
