Running Apps

Apps can run on the back-end or front-end in either development mode or runtime mode. The mode is set automatically based on the user’s authorization level. Development mode is available to administrators only, as other users are generally not authorized to access builders and wizards.

App builders are available from the app’s top toolbar for the master table. For relationships, builders are accessible via the builder buttons in the table and form footers. Builders are supported on both the back-end and front-end. Front-end builder access can be disabled using the shortcode parameter builders="false".

Running Apps on the Back-End

🖥️ From the WordPress dashboard

Authorize users and/or roles to use an app.

The WordPress dashboard includes a navigation menu for accessing built-in and custom pages. Enabling this option adds a menu item to the dashboard for all authorized users, providing them with easy access to the app.

Authorization is managed via the App Manager. Administrators can access it from the App Builder dashboard by clicking the Manage App link or icon. Once authorized, a link to the app is automatically added to the user’s dashboard.

📌 Administrators must authorize specific users and/or roles.
