Creating a Project

Overview

Projects serve as organized spaces where developers and teams can build and manage applications. They offer a structured framework that promotes efficiency, collaboration, and scalability in creating and managing applications.

Within a Project, various components such as Designer Folders, Folders, Flows, Forms, Rules, Reports, and Dashboards are utilized to define the application's logic and present data effectively. Moreover, developers can fine-tune the application's behavior and extend functionalities by configuring project-specific settings, including project Dependencies, enabling Modules, establishing project constants, and integrating SDK Extensions.
