UI Integration Cards in SAP Build Work Zone
UI Integration Cards allow you to consume business content from SAP and third-party solutions. They are stored and managed in the so-called host environment – SAP Build Work Zone or SAP SuccessFactors Work Zone
From a technical point of view, UI Integration Cards are represented as a set of client-side files (JavaScript, CSS, XML, JSON, and so on). While UI Integration Cards are stored and rendered in the context of SAP Build Work Zone, they are executed on the client-side – web browsers like Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, or Firefox.

For Low code options, we need to use only manifest.json and Configuration.js files.
For Pro-Code options, we can utilize utilizing Component.js, Controller.js, View.xml, and other familiar SAPUI5 components.
