Application Group
Think of an Application Group like a "Suite" of software (similar to how Microsoft Office is a suite containing Word, Excel, and PowerPoint).
In this system, you don't just build one giant application. Instead, you build smaller, specific tools (called Applications) and define the data they use (called Objects). An App Group is the container that holds all these related pieces together so they can be managed as one single unit.
It is a container for three main things:
Applications: The actual screens or tools users interact with (e.g., a "Customer Dashboard" or "Order Entry Form").
Objects: The definitions of the data those applications use (e.g., a "Customer" list or "Product" details).
Versioning: A built-in history tracker. You don't just update one file; you create a new "Version" of the entire group to track changes safely.
In summary, an Application Group is a package that bundles together:
The Tools (Applications) users see.
The Data Rules (Objects) those tools need to work.
This allows you to say, "Here is version 1.0 of the Sales App Group," and it automatically includes every specific form, dashboard, and data structure needed for the Sales team to do their job.
