For people building on the platform: Model-Driven Apps (entities, forms, views, relationships), Custom Apps and Custom Controls, business rules, automation flows, reports, and packaging work into solutions.

Model-Driven Apps

• Create an entity.
• Add a field to an entity.
• Create a relationship between entities.
• What happens when you save a table.
• Create a form.
• Create a view.
• Create a lookup view.
• Choose which columns a search matches.

Application Studio

Applications you draw, rather than ones built from a table's fields.

• Build your first Studio app — start here. A table, a screen, a list that came from it, a toolbar and a drawer that writes a record back, in about forty minutes.
• Create a Studio app, and what one is for.
• Draw a Studio app — the canvas, the roles and the inspector.
• Make a screen react — state, bindings and handlers.
• Show a list a page at a time.
• A dashboard on a screen — charts, tiles and embedded grids.
• Reuse a design with components, and share one across screens.
• Open a Studio app in an app, or run it on its own.

Business Rules

• Add a server-side validation rule.

Reporting

• Bind a report to an entity.

Solutions

• Create a publisher.
• Create a solution.
• Add a component to a solution.
• Export a solution.

Importing a solution into an environment and approving a deployment are done in the Admin Control Center — see the Admin Help section.
