Applications are the main containers for the business solutions you build in Auclio.

Each application brings together pages, widgets, datasets, connections, workflows, and permissions for a specific process or use case. For example, you can create applications for customer management, project tracking, requests, approvals, health and safety, expense management etc.

From the tenant homepage, select New application to create an application. Depending on your permissions and the available configuration options, you can start in three ways:

• Blank application
• Create with AI
• Import

Create a blank application #

Choose Blank application when you want to build the application structure manually.

A blank application gives you an empty starting point. After creating it, you can add:

• pages;
• widgets;
• datasets;
• connections;
• workflows;
• permissions.

To create a blank application:

1. Select New application.
2. Choose Blank application.
3. Enter the application name.
4. Configure the available basic settings.
5. Select Create.

This option gives you full control over how the application is structured from the beginning.

Create with AI #

Choose Create with AI when you want Auclio to generate an initial application structure from a written description.

Describe the process or use case you want to manage, including the information users need, the pages they should see, and the actions they should be able to perform.

For example:

Create a simple CRM application for managing accounts and contacts. Users should be able to view all accounts, add new accounts, and open an account details page. Each account should include the account name, owner, country, industry, number of employees, annual revenue, and customer status.

Based on your description, Auclio creates an initial application structure that may include:

• datasets and fields;
• pages;
• widgets;
• relationships between datasets;
• basic navigation;
• other relevant application components.

To create an application with AI:

1. Select New application.
2. Choose Create with AI.
3. Enter a clear description of the application.
4. Review the prompt and add any important requirements.
5. Start the generation process.
6. Review the generated application in Admin mode.

The generated application is a starting point. You should review all pages, datasets, fields, permissions, and workflows before using it with real business data.

Import an application #

Choose Import when you already have an exported Auclio application structure that you want to reuse.

Importing can be useful when:

• moving an application structure between tenants or environments;
• creating a new application from an existing template;
• reusing a proven structure for another team or customer;
• restoring a previously exported application structure.

To import an application:

1. Select New application.
2. Choose Import.
3. Select or upload the supported application export file.
4. Review the available import options.
5. Start the import.
6. Open the imported application and review its configuration.

After importing, check:

• pages and widgets;
• datasets and fields;
• connections;
• workflows;
• permissions;
• references to tenant-specific users, groups, or external systems.

Some settings may need to be configured again in the destination tenant, particularly connections, user assignments, and environment-specific values.

Open and manage applications #

Applications available to your account are displayed on the tenant homepage.

From there, you can:

• open an application;
• rearrange how applications are displayed;
• create a new application, if permitted;
• access application settings;
• return to the application list through the user menu.

The options available to you depend on your assigned permissions.
