System apps

A System app is an internal development app created in App Studio (AS). They allow Unit4 developers to create tailored apps for one or many end-users. They are a safe way to ensure that the created app is under Unit4's control, ensuring compliance with development guidelines, maintaining security and providing streamlined support for these custom features.

They can be both Business screen and Standalone apps that can provide extensions for ERPx functionality, add new windows to enhance the ERPx core or create specific features for customers.

System apps are identified in the Dashboard with a Unit4 logo in the top left corner.

System app restrictions

App Studio users cannot:

• Access the Editor.
• Unpublish the app (tenant admin owner only).
• Export the app.
• Duplicate the app.
• Edit the app's App info menu entry.

System apps can only be edited by System tenants, which are exclusively accessible to Unit4 R&D.
