Working with Applications

What's an application?

An application is an organized collection of workflows and everything else that a workflow needs to function. Applications enable you to streamline and automate workflows.

What does an application contain?

In PlatformNX, an application is displayed as a folder containing the following subfolders:

• Workflows: Define the sequence of activities required to automate specific business processes. For example, employee onboarding.

• Resources: Enable secure and efficient interactions with external systems and services. They are reusable and configurable entities that can be used across multiple workflows within the application. For example, authentication records that can be invoked whenever required.

• Schemas: Define the structure and format of data used within an application. They ensure data consistency, validation, and reusability across workflows.

Together, these components make applications in PlatformNX powerful, scalable, and easy to manage.
