问题
I have been working on maximo anywhere apps recently and have a requirement to completely change the look and feel of the work execution app, the oslc layer which talks to maximo in the backend remains the same and all the functionalities are the same but there are some new buttons, notification messages and all sorts of UX aspects to be added to the app, I have just started looking at the architecture and code of the app but does anyone know how can I make changes to the front-end or is it even possible? I could find very few documents available online and all of them spoke of customizing features and functionalities but I coudlnot find any document for adding UX aspects.
It would be great someone could point out any documents or kick-off points which I can start looking into.
Thanks.

Thanks for asking, if you're just talking about adding new fields, layouts, screens to the UI, you can do that all through the app.xml, and there are lots of examples on our knowledge center, for example this one: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSPJLC_7.5.2/com.ibm.si.mpl.doc_7.5.2/config_apps/t_add_rw_fields.html?lang=en
If you're talking about changing the "look" of the existing widgets, this can all be done through css, by overriding our out of the box css classes. Use Chrome inspector to figure out which css class is being used for each element type, and just override it through standard css approaches.
If you're talking about more advanced customization, for example adding your own new widget types to our screens, it is possible to programmatically instantiate/destroy your own widgets through javascript and add them to our standard application views. This code is usually hooked on the initialize and back event of our views. But you'll be responsible for writing the code to synchronize the data layer with your custom widget. We unfortunately don't have a published example of this customization usecase yet.
We always adding new widget capabilities to our Anywhere UI framework, so I'd love to hear feedback on the new widget types you're interested in.
