Getting Started - Understanding the Builder
Where You Create and Manage Your Apps
The Builder (Back Office) is the environment where you create, configure, and manage your apps.
It is designed for App Creators — not end users.
👉 This is where everything happens behind the scenes.
1. Two Different Experiences
Your platform has two sides:
Builder (Back Office)
- Used by App Creators & Organizers
- Web-based (accessible via browser)
- Used to:
- Create apps
- Configure modules
- Manage content and users
App (Mobile Experience)
- Used by App Users
- Mobile-first experience
- Used to:
- Consume content
- Register for events
- Interact with the community
👉 Builder = creation
👉 App = experience
2. What You Can Do in the Builder
From the Builder, you can:
- Create and manage your apps
- Add and configure modules
- Manage content (events, posts, people)
- Assign roles and permissions
- Access analytics and data
👉 It is your control center.
3. Structure of the Builder
The Builder is organized into:
- Organization level → manage apps and users
- App level → configure a specific app
- Module level → manage content and features
👉 Everything is structured and hierarchical.
4. From Builder to App
What you configure in the Builder is instantly reflected in the app:
- Add a module → appears in the app
- Create an event → visible to users
- Post content → users see it
👉 The Builder controls the user experience.
5. Who Should Use the Builder
The Builder is used by:
- Owners
- Admins
- App Managers
- Module-level contributors (Editors, Verifiers, etc.)
👉 Regular users do not access the Builder.
⚠ Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Confusing the Builder with the app
- Trying to manage content only from the app
- Not understanding roles and permissions
💡 Pro Tip
Think of the Builder as your:
👉 Command center
Everything your users see is created and controlled here.
👍 Summary
- The Builder is the web-based back office
- It is used by App Creators
- It controls everything users see in the app
- It is structured by Organization → App → Module
👉 Mastering the Builder is the first step to building a successful app.
