What Are Apps?

Each Solution can have one or more Apps, which are similar to a single worksheet tab in a spreadsheet.

Apps are collections of items of the same type, and contain Records that hold information about those distinct items. You may have an App to track projects, catalog real estate holdings, or list the laptops your IT department manages.

Apps have Fields that are used to store different types of information, like text, dates, rich documents, files, links to other records, and much more.

When your Solution involves tracking different types of things or coordinating different processes, it usually makes sense to give each distinct item its own App. For example, an Event Planning solution might have separate Apps for Events, Schedules, Attendees and Vendors.

The Records that an App contains store individual values for each of the App's Fields. We'll talk more about Fields and Records below!
