The App Store serves as a digital showcase, enriching the projects of ACC users with a diverse range of applications. It provides a secure and standardized experience, automating the installation of applications within projects.
Selecting the App Store from the left-side menu takes users to the Application Catalog, where the process of installing applications into a project starts. This procedure comprises four steps, with the initial step being the selection of an App, followed by choosing a project and service, configuring application settings, and proceeding with the installation.
Application Catalog page displays both public and private applications. Users can conveniently search and filter applications based on criteria such as "Application Name," "Application Provider," and "Category." The Application provider refers to the account under which the application was created, while category refers to the type of application.
Users can filter the list to display only their own applications created in their account by selecting the Show only my applications checkbox. Otherwise, public applications from other accounts will also appear in the list.
Click on an application card from the list to move on to the next step.
After selecting an application, users will be directed to its launch page. Here, users can select the project in which they intend to use the application.
If the application is related to another app, users will dynamically find a dropdown menu for selecting the related app alongside the project selection.
The application's launch page showcases images added during its creation process and provides information about the application, including an overview, technical specifications, release notes, and support details. The “Release Notes” section highlights recent changes made in the latest application version.
Click the Select Project dropdown to choose a project for application installation. This dropdown displays all projects within the user's account.
After selecting a project, click the Configure Application Values button to proceed to the next step.
Application Values page allows users to enter specific application values. These values are typically defined in the "akinon.json" file by the application owner when migrating the application to the platform. All these values will be dynamically displayed on the page based on their defined conditions. While there may not always be application values to enter, if any are applicable, all stakeholders looking to install the application within their projects must provide these values. These values can be either mandatory or optional, depending on the application's requirements.
Click the Save and Continue button to move on to the installation step.
This page provides a summary of the actions taken in the previous steps. If needed, users can revisit the relevant tabs for any adjustments.
After confirming the accuracy of the information, click the Install button to start the application deployment process.
Once the installation is complete, users will receive a confirmation message. To access the details of the project where the application has been installed, click the View Project button.
Note that deployment methods may vary. Some applications auto-deploy, while others may require the application owner to initiate deployment.
