Overview of app resources

Apps have the ability to interact with other areas of the Toca platform.

Datastores

A datastore can store data in a wide array of formats. This data can then be utilised throughout an app to drive static and dynamic content. Examples include:

• Using a table inside a datastore to fill a dynamic page with content.
• Displaying data from a datastore with a chart component.

Listeners

A listener is used for running automation workflows from your app. For example, in an app you may use a form layout to pass inputs defined by an app user to a workflow.

CMS

CMS, or content management system, is a way of storing data which is specifically tailored to being displayed in Toca apps.
