Modern Web GUI

Drive user satisfaction and reduce training costs by transforming your green screens to modern web applications with Presto.
  • Instant Modern UI: Convert your green screens to a modern web application instantly. Presto auto-transforms elements like menu screens, subfiles & function keys into web elements.
  • Intuitive Navigation: Improve screen navigation with mouse-driven functionalities such as clickable buttons, links, dropdown lists and tabs.
  • Easy Deployment: Enable access to all green screens as web pages by installing Presto on the IBM i server – no client installation saves you time and reduces deployment costs.

Visual Editor

Improve the look and functionality of screens without web development experience using Presto's Visual Editor.
  • Drag-and-Drop Interface: Enhance your screen by adding modern elements like containers, tabs, images, charts, buttons and icons using the drag-and-drop GUI.
  • UI Elements & Google Maps: Transform input fields to date pickers, checkboxes or dropdown lists to speed up data entry. Add links to PDFs and integrate Google maps without code.
  • JavaScript Events: Customize your screens further – add JS events to hide/display elements when clicked, populate the command line with a button click, and more.

Site-Level Settings

Accelerate the modernization of your IBM i applications by applying the same settings to all your web-enabled green screens.
  • Global Settings: Define the look and behavior of elements like function keys, menu screens and subfile screens on every web-enabled screen.
  • Global Transformations: Create site-level rules to customize your web-enabled screens based on a pre-defined pattern.

Data-driven UI Elements

Use SQL within the Visual Editor to extend your web-enabled screens beyond the 5250 datastream.
  • SQL Queries: Create and use SQL queries for integrating Db2 data in your web-enabled screens. Use values from a screen (e.g.: userid) and library lists to dynamically display data.
  • Data-driven Inputs & Charts: Use SQL queries to populate UI elements like dropdown lists, autocompletes and charts with Db2 data.
  • CSV/HTML Data Export: Provide users Db2 data as CSV spreadsheets or HTML pages that can be accessed with Microsoft Excel, without the need for copying and pasting data.

Productivity Tools

  • Mobile Customizations: Apply a separate set of customizations to your web-enabled screens when running on mobile devices and test those customizations from within Presto’s Editor.
  • Keyboard for Function Keys: Enhance mobile users’ experience with the virtual keyboard for function keys.

Integration and Security

  • Web Services Integration: Integrate your screens with APIs that provide functions like payments, tracking, etc. Launch web apps like WebSmart pgms from within your screens.
