App rules

Every App rule that prints today: its id, the row it belongs to, its status, and what it derives from the definition.

An App rule turns one fact of a Noun's definition into one part of a screen. Each rule below runs today in the screens for a Startup's own team, the Screens for the team row.

12 more rules wait for code that serves them.

Every printed rule is pinned to commit 9ab30202 of the Admin build. Admin: derivation rules and edge cases explains each one with its edge cases, and Lease in the leaseclock.com Admin applies them to one Noun and its two Verbs.

Operating an App

In the design, SaaS.Studio runs every App a Startup has from one place: its Versions and Domains, the Actions people take, and the Metrics they feed.

What each row adds

Every row that adds screens over the same API: who sees them, what the Startup writes, what the platform derives, what it designs, and the cost.
