App generation supported metadata

App generation creates seven metadata types, including tables, roles, and record producers. Use this reference to understand what each metadata type does and how app generation uses it.

When you generate an application, app generation creates the following metadata types.

Label	Name	Usage
Access control list (ACL)	sys_security_acl	ACLs manage role-based access control for the application: Rules that define role access to resources and permitted operations ACLs that can be applied at the field or table level
Flows	sys_hub_flow	Flows automate a repeatable, multi-step process.
Form	sys_ui_form	Interface that enables users to submit data to create or update records in a table
Record producer	sc_cat_item_producer	Type of form that enables users to enter information that generates a task-based record
Role	sys_user_role	Set of permissions that are assigned to users and groups
Table	sys_db_object	Tables organize data into rows and columns for easy reference: Collection of records with information Records contain fields that store data for the application Each record corresponds to a table row, and each field on a record corresponds to a table column
Workspace Builder	sys_ux_page_registry	A targeted experience for an application that includes data visualizations and other user experience components to allow a user to interact with an application.
