About the Apps container

The Apps container provides a central location for all designated mobile apps including the provided NiagaraMobileApps.

In NiagaraAX-3.7 and AX-3.8 new stations come with this Apps node already installed directly under the station Config node. You can install individual apps from the Apps container default view, the App Manager view (using the New button), or you can drag the NiagaraMobileApps container from the mobile palette directly onto the Apps folder. You can also drag individual apps, or multiple selected apps, from the mobile palette to the App Manager view.

Apps may use other services and drivers, but the idea is that an App serves as a central focus for something that provides a specific function or set of views for doing something in the Niagara Framework.
