Creating a New Project

Overview

The jobs you create in appRules are organized as specific projects. Each project includes the workflow representation of the job, conditions, actions, activities and other definitions required to run the job. Projects are stored in the project database. They can also be copied from one project database to another. appRules projects can be created, composed and orchestrated directly in appRules.

In appRules, the terms project, workflow, job, etc. are used interchangeably.
