Assemblies: Adding a Collection Assembly

About this task

Assemblies are sets of widgets (see Widgets) that you can configure to work together to deliver advanced app functionality. Assemblies speed up app development by grouping related widgets together and automating commonly required app functionality.

A collection assembly simplifies app record management by allowing app users to manage records from within SOTI Snap.
