Solutions

On the Solutions page, Global Admins and Application Admins can view solutions according to the libraries the solutions belong to. On this page, they can also manage solutions.

Solutions are placed within libraries. Before you create a solution, ensure a library for that solution type exists.

Note:

Solution connection names are case sensitive. Apps to which a solution is imported must have a connection with the same name as the connection in the original app; if they do not, the connection name will not be recognized, and you will receive an error when you deploy the solution.

You cannot export a custom workflow solution for which the Studio script is still being reviewed.

User App - Library names and Library types created by default

In the User App, the library names and library types below are created by default.


Library Name	Library Type
Excel Workbooks Library	Excel Solution Solution level Library level
Forms Library	Form Solution
Queries Library	Query
Reference Data Lists Library	Reference Data
Transactions Library	Transaction

Capabilities associated with library types

As a Global Admin or App Admin, you can create any number of libraries. The capabilities you have for any specific solution depend on the type of library to which the solution belongs.

The table below includes the capabilities or set of actions you can take for solutions belonging to four different library types: Excel Solution, Form Solution, Query/Transaction, and Reference Data.


	Library Types
	Excel Solution	Form Solution	Query/Transaction	Reference Data
Capabilities	Add Workflow	Add Solution	Delete	Add Schema
	Delete	Delete	Download a Copy	Copy Schema
	Download a Copy	Edit Solution	Open in Excel	Delete
	Edit Workflow	Export	Open in Studio	Edit Data

	Open in Excel	Version History	Version History	Update Schema
	Open in Studio		Import	Usage
	Process History		Export	Version History
	Usage			View Data
	Version History			View Schema

Note:

When you import a solution from one library to another library, one version of the solution is created in the new library - irrespective of how many versions of the solution were in the original library.

When you import a Reference Data Solution, the following radio buttons do not display: Allow Versioning and Rename Solution.
