An overview of how to use the pre-defined solutions in the App Store
These pre-built downloadable end-to-end solutions in the Quixy App Store are sets of different modules (like HR Solutions, COVID-19 Solution, Inventory Management Solution, etc.) which can be used by different organizations across different industries to use instantly, without having to configure a single thing like an application or a data table from scratch, for example.
When you download a solution, it will be downloaded into a separate workspace. All the apps, data tables, data sources, reports, list screens, etc will get saved in that workspace. The workspace will not be restricted only to the apps, data tables, etc. which were downloaded along with the solution; you can also create new apps, data tables, etc. which can make the solution more reliable for you.
