Project and Project Menu

Project Overview

A Project is like a container that stores all the information related to applications, and it's organized in a specific format determined by a developer based on the end user's needs.
A project, once created in a platform, will run as a program and provide access to a user via several applications through a GUI. The Applications that are packaged for every project are available to the users either on a device or the web.
