Feature description
You have several options inside the page
| Add Page | Your Application will consist of as many pages as you want. These pages can in turn be forms, dashboards or workflows. |
| Publishing an Application | If you don’t publish your application, the application and its content will not be visible to the front-office users. When you have finished the creation of your application, publish it. Changes are still possible at a later stage. |
| Settings | Here you have the option to change the name and description of your application. Other quick actions such as deleting and duplicating an app are also available. |
| Users | Define the users which have access to this application. You can also define the role of said users here. |
| Roles | Roles are assigned in the User Panel but defined in the Roles Panel. This mean, that some users will have more permissions than others. For more information check the Roles Page. |
| Attributes | Attributes can be generated to specify a users permissions. E.g. Region, Job, Type, … This allows for very specific permissions on apps, like only allowing users from the same country to see records published for that country. In contrast to Roles, which define a users permissions on the page behaviour, not on the application behaviour. |
| Channels | Define channels to publish your application and the corresponding changes. This will allow notifications to be sent to other applications. |
| Subscriptions | Subscribe to other channels to receive records. |
