Results

With the basic structure of your app created, develop the forms and workflow to support it. See Build Apps and Workflow Designer to progress your app further. Any apps you create appear in the App Manager under My Apps, even if you have not published them.
Important: Remember to secure your apps. See Limiting User Access to Your Apps. Business apps also require you to authorize specific devices to use the app. This ensures the device’s owner is associated with any workflow approvals. See Managing Device Access for Business Apps.
