Create an App from the Home Screen
The large input field in the center of the home screen is the starting point for PlantPulse Studio. Write the screen you want to create in a sentence and press Enter, and the app is created.
Home Screen — Numbers Are in Reading Order
| Number | Location | What It Does |
|---|---|---|
| ① | Above the input field | Create · Ask toggle — whether to build an app or just query data |
| ② | Large center box | Write the screen you want to create in one sentence |
| ③ | Bottom left of the input field | Attach Photo — add a reference screen or drawing |
| ④ | Bottom right of the input field | Create — same as Enter (use Shift+Enter for a new line) |
| ⑤ | Below the input field | Start with an Example — clicking it fills the field with that sentence |
| ⑥ | Below that | Recent Apps — continue where you left off |
The left vertical rail is for screen navigation — from top to bottom: Home · Chat · Applications · Watcher · Field Skills · Templates · Gallery · Docs, with User Management at the very bottom.
Create an App with One Sentence
Click the home icon (fa-house) in the left navigation to go to Home. In the center of the screen, you'll see:
What would you like to build? Describe the industrial app you want to create in one sentence. From real-time dashboards to alarm centers — built instantly via chat.
Then follow these steps in order:
- Make sure the pill-shaped toggle above the input field is set to Create (hammer
fa-hammer). The Ask (fa-comment-dots) option on the right is for querying data only, not building an app → Query Data via Chat - Write the screen you want to create in the large input field. The prompt text is a good example.
Example: Create a real-time temperature and pressure dashboard for Line 3. Show values in red when they exceed thresholds.
- Press Enter or click the Create button at the bottom right. (Use Shift+Enter for a new line)
The button changes to Creating… and after a moment, the app editor screen opens automatically. The sentence you just wrote is sent automatically as the first message, so you don't need to type it again. The process of building the screen continues in Develop Apps with the Builder.
The beginning of your sentence becomes the app name. You can change the name at any time later using Rename in the Applications list.
How to Write a Good Prompt
The agent can look up information about your plant's sites, equipment, and tags. The more specific you are, the more precisely it connects to real data.
| Write It Like This | Why |
|---|---|
| Use the exact equipment or line name — "Line 3", "No. 1 Melting Furnace", "Compressor in Building A" | It finds and connects to the actual equipment by name |
| Specify the screen type — "dashboard", "status board", "table", "trend chart", "gauge" | It arranges the layout in the form you want |
| Specify the time range — "last 24 hours", "last week", "today" | It determines the query scope |
| Specify the criteria — "show in red if above 90", "warn if below 80%" | It applies color and warning rules accordingly |
Conversely, a vague sentence like "make a good dashboard" might produce an unexpected screen. However, you don't need to be perfect from the start — you can keep refining it via chat after it's built.
Example Prompts
3번 라인 용해로 온도를 최근 24시간 추이 그래프로 보여주고,
850도를 넘은 구간은 빨갛게 표시해줘.
전체 사이트의 활성 알람을 심각도별로 나눈 현황판을 만들어줘.
위에는 심각도별 건수 카드, 아래는 최신 알람 목록 표로.
설비별 가동률을 게이지로 보여주는 화면. 가동률 80% 미만인 설비는
위쪽에 모아서 눈에 띄게 해줘.
A동 공기압축기 압력과 전류를 한 화면에 나란히 놓고,
현재값은 큰 숫자로, 추이는 아래 그래프로 보여줘.
Create from a Photo or Sketch
Click the camera icon (fa-camera) at the bottom left of the input field to attach a photo. As the prompt text says, "Attach a photo or sketch — we'll turn it into an app as-is."
- Take a photo of an existing instrument panel, a hand-drawn screen sketch, or a paper inspection checklist, and the screen will be created following that layout.
- You can upload up to 3 images at a time, each under 5MB.
- Attached photos appear as small thumbnails above the input field and can be removed by clicking the X on the right.
Try Suggested Prompts
Below the input field, there are four recommended sentences marked with a sparkle icon (fa-sparkles). If you're not sure where to start, just click one. The app is created immediately with that sentence.
- Line 3 real-time monitoring dashboard
- OEE analysis by equipment
- Alarm center (filter by severity)
- Equipment drill-down (asset tree)
Start from a Template
Instead of starting from a blank screen, you can begin with a pre-built framework. Click the store icon (fa-store) Templates in the left navigation to open the Template Marketplace.
- Filter by category tabs at the top, such as All / Monitoring / Alarms / Analysis.
- Change the sort order using Popular · Latest on the right.
- Click New App from This Template on the card you want, enter the app name, and the app is created.
The default templates are as follows:
| Template | Description |
|---|---|
| Blank Canvas | Build from scratch via chat |
| Line Monitoring | KPIs · gauges · trends |
| Alarm Center | Alarm feed · severity distribution |
| OEE Analysis | Availability × performance × quality |
| 3D Digital Twin | 3D layout · equipment status · click for details |
Cards without the 기본 제공 badge are templates created and uploaded by someone in your organization, and they're shown with the creator and usage count.
In the app editor, click Save as Template to publish that screen to the marketplace, allowing colleagues to start new apps with the same layout.
Clicking New App in the Applications screen also shows the same template list (Start Templates). Here, you first choose a name, then pick a template, and click Create.
Recent Apps
In the Recent Apps section at the bottom of the Home screen, the four most recently modified apps appear as cards. Clicking a card opens the editor for that app directly.
The small dot color in the top left of each card indicates the app's status.
- Green dot — Deployed app (can be opened via a link in the field)
- Gray dot — App still in development
The full list and deployment/sharing features are in the grid icon (fa-grid-2) Applications in the left navigation → App Catalog and Sharing
