Unlocking More Value from Domino - HCL Volt MX Go v10 is Here
Create Your Next Great App Experience
Imagine taking the apps you’ve relied on for years and extending them to mobile, web, and even next-gen experiences like AR/VR, GPS, conversational apps, and AI — all at half the time, cost, and risk of alternative build-from-scratch approaches. That’s exactly what HCL Volt MX Go delivers as a powerful low-code development platform.
Now with the release of HCL Volt MX Go v10, you have the fastest, most cost-effective path to evolving and extending your Domino applications without the heavy lift of rebuilding them from scratch and migrating your data.
As part of your broader HCL Domino investment strategy, Volt MX Go makes your applications future-ready while building on the work you’ve already done. Instead of needing to recreate your existing application code and form design, you can reuse it, enhance it, and ensure it fits the way in which your users and customers want to use the application.
Power of HCL Volt MX Go
Volt MX Go combines the power of the industry-leading HCL Volt MX multiexperience low-code platform with HCL Domino, enabling you to maximize your existing skills investment. Domino and JavaScript developers can now collaborate seamlessly, driving faster innovation across your teams and improved experiences for your business users. Volt MX is trusted by global leaders, including Henkel, SoftBank, and Ferrari. These organizations use Volt MX to accelerate digital transformation, deliver exceptional customer experiences, and maintain regulatory compliance.
Volt MX Go features a proven translation engine that automates up to 60% of the effort required to extend Domino apps — letting you reuse existing app data, UX design, and business logic. You can also expand app reach into native, multiexperience environments for mobile, tablets, and wearables.
What’s New in Volt MX Go v10
Volt MX Go includes unique technology to connect Volt MX and Domino, reducing risk and saving money on any Domino extension project. It does this through VoltFormula, which allows you to reuse existing @Formulas and Domino application logic directly in Volt MX for both existing and new apps; VoltScript, the natural evolution of LotusScript with language modernization and strong backward compatibility; Design Import for bringing your Domino forms, fields and views into Volt MX as immediately actionable components; and the Domino Adapter for easily and directly connecting Volt MX to your Domino environment.
VoltFormula
VoltFormula delivers major time savings compared to full rewrites and allows Domino developers to code HCL Volt MX Go applications in the language they are familiar with. At the same time, it opens collaboration with JavaScript, Excel, or OpenFormula developers who may not have Domino expertise. Volt MX Go v10 introduces ongoing enhancements to Domino and OpenFormula formulas and commands available for translation.
VoltFormula Sandbox - New!
The new Rosetta Sandbox — available in the Developer Community under the Try menu — gives developers a hands-on environment to test Domino and OpenFormula to JavaScript translation. This allows you to validate how effectively your applications will be converted before scaling modernization projects.
VoltScript - New!
Now generally available, VoltScript makes it easy for you to quickly build powerful, efficient software.
It retains LotusScript principles of simplicity, approachability, and reliability — while enabling extensibility for VoltScript and C/C++ developers. This ensures both experienced Domino developers and new contributors can create consistent, maintainable applications. VoltScript is available for coding in both Volt Foundry and Visual Studio Code on Windows and Mac. Learn more.
Design Import
Bringing your Domino apps into Volt MX is simpler than ever. With v10, you can now save profiles for Domino REST API server, scope, and service details, streamlining imports. New methods for importing lists are now available, enabling you to apply templates and skins without editing raw HTML or CSS.
Easiest Version to Install
HCL Volt MX Go v10 is now delivered as an integrated component of Volt Foundry and Volt Iris. Simply activate your Foundry environment with Volt MX Go entitlements, and key tools — Domino Adapter, First Touch assistant, Design Import, and VoltFormula plugins — are instantly available. No separate installer required.
Support for CouchDB - New!
HCL Volt MX Go v10 adds support for CouchDB as an alternative data repository. Using the CouchDB adapter in Volt Foundry, you can perform data operations in the same way as with Domino, SAP, MongoDB, and other databases. With its origins in Domino and a similar data model, CouchDB makes it easy for you to distribute your Domino data for use in Volt MX applications, should you wish to do so.
Latest Advances in Domino REST API
Domino REST API enhancements now provide even greater integration flexibility to both Domino CCB and Volt MX Go customers. Highlights include:
- Web Application Open Platform Interface (WOPI) support to enable seamless online collaborative editing of document attachments in Domino and Volt MX Go applications.
- OIDC-based login for secure access to the Admin UI.
- New endpoints and parameter expansions, offering additional options for securely extending Domino applications and how they can be accessed, controlled, and integrated.
