Live on Gen1 Studio — floating Versioning Helper, Gen1 Execute, and Asset Explorer side by side.

01 · Floating helper

Versioning stays on the Studio page

The hanging CIMB SMART Versioning Helper detects the open asset (Visual Programming, UI — Single, UI — Multiple, or Data Manager) and keeps Sync, Promote, Rollback, and Explorer in one place.

  • Sync a Copy — pull Source into a Firestore working copy on feature/<you>
  • Promote to Target — deploy selected synced copies after Target settings
  • Rollback from Checkpoint — restore a prior synced version on your branch

02 · Gen1 Asset Explorer

Browse the catalog as a tree

Open the side panel to explore Gen1 assets by kind. Filter by name, expand Entity → Layer (or Data Manager table groups), then Open in the current Studio tab or Open in new tab.

  • Works for VP, UI — Single, UI — Multiple, and Data Manager
  • Same-tab open warns before discarding unsaved editor changes
  • Sign in with Google from the explorer when the Helper session is missing

03 · Gen1 Execute

Fire VP api / webhook triggers in place

On Visual Programming assets, the helper includes a Gen1 Execute section. Paste an optional JSON body and run the asset’s Gen1 api or webhook trigger against the matching CIMB gateway — no Gen2 wrapper flow.

  • Shown only when a VP asset is detected
  • Uses the Studio session token and environment gateway
  • Response status and body appear under the Execute button

04 · Data Manager

Table groups with smart categories

Data Manager browsing follows table groups, then two name levels (for example t → t_cash → t_cash_advance). Singleton paths and pure category parents are flattened so you reach tables faster.

  • Rooted by table group (e.g. cimb_expense)
  • Two-level prefixes from underscore table names
  • Open jumps to the Studio Data Manager editor for that table

05 · UI — Single & Multiple

Experience Manager assets, same workflow

UI assets use the same versioning actions and explorer. Opening from the side panel uses Gen1’s #/experience-manager/update/<id> route so the editor refreshes correctly.

  • Hierarchy from naming tags such as [accrue] / bracket scopes
  • Sync, Push, Promote, and Rollback mirror the VP flow
  • Cherry-pick diffs work for Experience Manager JSON the same way

Line cherry-pick when you push

Push and Promote open a side-by-side review. Select only the lines you want, then apply. Unchanged blocks stay out of the way; the pusher is recorded for audit.

Download & install

Chrome cannot install a ZIP directly. Unzip it, then load the folder as an unpacked extension. Current release: ….

  1. Download the ZIP
    Or use the button at the top of this page.
  2. Unzip the archive
    You should get officeless-deployment-helper-extension/ containing manifest.json.

# → officeless-deployment-helper-extension/
  3. Open chrome://extensions
  4. Enable Developer mode, then Load unpacked and select that folder.
  5. Open Gen1 Studio (studio-uat2 / studio-uat / studio.smart-cimb.com). The floating helper appears when an asset is detected; use Open Gen1 asset explorer for the side panel.

What each action does

Helper API calls run on the production service — Sync stores working copies in Firestore (not git).

Action API Result
Sync a Copy POST /api/extension/download-commit Firestore head + version on feature/<you>
Promote to Target diff-promote → apply-promote Deploy selected synced copies to Target
Rollback from Checkpoint asset-history → rollback Restore a prior Firestore version on your branch
Gen1 Execute Studio gateway api / webhook Runs the open VP trigger with optional JSON body
