Solution requirements

Every solution requires the following:

  • Solution title - the solution title is visible at the top of the home hub screen in the app. Ensure that the title is unique, as there is no validation on the name, which could result in overwriting an existing solution with the same title.
  • Solution name - The solution name is the system name and derives the name from the solution title with the following rules applied:
    • Cannot start with a number
    • No spaces are allowed; hyphens replace spaces
    • It must be in lowercase
  • Solution category - Provides a list of predefined categories to choose from. The category you select displays as a tag at the top of your solution in the Home Hub under the solution title in the app.
  • Solution location - either on your local machine or in a Git repository.
  • Index.jigx - The index.jigx file is the home screen for the app. Add tabs to determine the layout. See Home Hub and Index settings for more information.
