Sites

A site holds a team's lists, pages and documents - and any site can grow into an application of its own. Start from a template or from a sentence; design its pages on a canvas; give its lists forms, rules and reports.

The day's work About Sites

What it is for

Born with its lists and pages: A template makes a working site - a project office, an HR hub, an IT service desk - with its lists and pages in place.
Lists with real fields: People, dates, choices, lookups, files: lists keep history, a recycle bin, and can be indexed when they grow.
Pages on a canvas: A page is built from blocks on a designer, with an assistant beside it. A front office for readers, a back office for those who run it.
Forms with rules: A list's form is designed, not generated: fields that appear when they apply, and a process or a flow that starts on submit.
Apps that belong to the site: An app put in a site brings its lists, processes, reports and documents with it.
One directory: Built-in apps, the apps you built and your sites are found in one place.

Getting started

Open Apps and choose New site.
Pick a template, or describe the site you need.
Open its lists and pages; change what does not fit.

Tasks

Design a page

Open the page and choose Design.
Drop blocks on the canvas, or ask the assistant beside it.
Publish: readers see the new page.

Give a list a form

Open the list's form designer.
Arrange the fields; add a rule to show one only when it applies.
Choose what happens on submit: nothing more, a process, or a flow.

Restore what was deleted

Open Recycle Bin.
Find the item.
Restore it to where it was.

Questions

Is a site the same as an app?

A site is the container; an app is what grows on it. Any site can be customised as an app at any later moment.

Who sees a site?

Whoever its access says: a department, a group, named people. Search and the directory show a person only what they may open.

App Studio: Build apps for the organisation by describing them.
Data Studio: Business intelligence on governed data.
Process Studio: Business processes: model them, run them, work them.
Search: One search, across everything you may open.
