A composition contains one or more pages, each with its own URL. You arrange components on each page’s canvas, configure them, and publish when ready. UI Studio tracks every save as a new version so you can view the full history of your work.

Components

Browse available components and learn how to configure them.
A composition contains one or more pages. Each page has a name and a URL path. One page is designated as the home page, which loads when a user visits the root of your published composition. Pages can also contain subpages, each with a URL path nested under the parent page’s path.

​
End-user single sign-on for published compositions

UI Studio supports end-user Single Sign-On (SSO) using Okta OIDC and controls access for end users who visit published search sites. When enabled, users must authenticate before accessing a published composition at YOUR_COMPANY.ui.lucidworks.cloud/COMPOSITION_NAME. When SSO is not enabled, the published URL is publicly accessible. To enable UI Studio SSO for your published compositions, contact your Lucidworks representative.
UI Studio SSO is different from Lucidworks Platform SSO, which controls access for administrators who build and manage compositions in the Lucidworks Platform workspace.
