You can "Create an app" in Appverse to build tailored solutions to meet your specific needs, with minimal coding.

Make sure you have the necessary to create a new App

Creating your first App

Look for the "" button to start creating your first App

App Structure

Before you begin, it's important to understand the App Structure in Appverse. In Appverse, each App is built using a set of key elements that work together to provide a seamless and unparalleled user experience. These elements are:

  • Folders act as containers to organize and group your app's components, such as forms, dashboards, and other folders. By structuring your app with folders, you can keep related content together and improve navigation and accessibility. Folders are particularly useful when you have multiple features or modules within your app that need to be easily categorized.

  • Forms in Appverse allow you to collect data. They are essential for interacting with users, for input (e.g., transactions). Forms are highly customizable and can be linked to specific workflows or trigger actions within your app. They provide the first interface through which users interact with the App.

  • Roles define the level of access and permissions that users have within an app. By assigning roles to users, you control who can view, edit, or manage different forms, dashboards and data of the app. For instance, admins may have full access to all folders, forms and dashboards, while regular users may only be able to view restricted data or submit forms. Properly setting up roles ensures that sensitive information and critical functions are protected and only accessible to authorized users.

  • Dashboards in Appverse are visual interfaces that present key data and insights from your app. They are typically made up of analytical charts, tables, and reports, or relevant metrics. Dashboards can be customized to show the most important information to different user groups and can be interactive, allowing users to drill down into data and perform analysis. They serve as a central hub for monitoring and decision-making within the app.

Create an App

To create an App in Appverse,

1

2

On the left-side navigation bar, click on "Apps."

This will display a list of existing Apps that the user has access to. If no Apps have been created or given access, a blank page will be shown.

3

Click on "+ Create App" located at the top right corner of the page.

This will open a panel on the right side to create the App.

4

Enter the following information

  • App Name - The name of the App.

  • App Description - The description of the App.

  • Upload Icon - An icon that visually represents the App's identity.

  • Upload Backdrop Image.

During the initial App creation stage, a dashboard cannot be added, as it should be created only after the App has been substantially configured. Therefore, the option to attach a dashboard gets enabled only after the App has been created.

Evolving your App

In Appverse, you can keep evolving your App as you design. Ability for the App Creator ro Designer to continuously refine and enhance is what distinguish Appverse for other similar platforms. Still following a structured approach from the very beginning helps designers to have clarity, makes the design process faster and helps in organizing better.

Planning Your App

The first step should be to plan the App Structure. This means the following

  • Plan the overall app architecture, including forms and dashboards.

  • Define a structured and intuitive folder hierarchy to organize app components.

  • Determine user roles and their access levels for forms, form data, dashboards, and dashboard data.

  • Implement role-based permissions to manage data visibility and editing rights.

  • Perform initial testing on a smaller scale before full deployment.

  • Continuously refine and improve the app based on feedback.
