AI Agents
Think of these as digital teammates. They are smart systems that can complete tasks and make logical decisions within an app. In SnapApp, these agents handle routine tasks and data processing so you don’t have to do them manually.
See also: Workflow Automation
AI Analytics and Automation
This is the process of using AI to spot patterns in your data and then act on them. Instead of just showing you a chart, SnapApp can see a trend or a mistake and automatically start a process to handle it.
See also: Intelligent Automation
AI App Development
Building software that has "brains" built into its core features. SnapApp makes this easier by offering pre-made AI tools that you can plug into your app without needing a background in data science.
See also: AI Enabled Development
AI Assisted Forms
These forms help users fill out information more accurately. They can suggest answers, catch errors in real-time, and make the data entry process much faster.
See also: AI Intake Forms
AI Enabled Development
This describes using AI as a tool during the actual building process. It helps creators build apps more efficiently by handling the heavy lifting of the technical setup and logic.
See also: Low Code Application Builder
AI Intake Forms
A smarter way to collect information for new cases or requests. SnapApp reads the submitted data to automatically send it to the right team, fill in known details, and flag any information that doesn't look right.
See also: Document AI
API Integration
The "digital glue" that connects different software systems. It allows SnapApp to talk to your existing tools so they can share data and work together seamlessly.
App Builder
A workspace where you can create software visually. Instead of writing lines of code, you use a visual interface to drag and drop different parts of your app into place.
See also: Low Code
Card View
A layout that displays data as individual visual "cards" (similar to a digital sticky note). It’s perfect for dashboards where you need to see a quick summary of several items at once.
Case Management
The organized process of following a request or "case" from start to finish. It ensures nothing falls through the cracks, from the initial submission to the final resolution.
See also: Grants Management
Cloud Native Architecture
A way of building apps specifically to live on the internet (the cloud). This makes them more reliable and allows them to grow easily as more people start using them.
Compliance Framework
A set of digital "guardrails" that ensure your app follows legal and industry rules, such as data privacy laws or security standards.
See also: Enterprise Management
Custom AI Agent
A specialized autonomous system built to do one specific job for your organization, like an assistant that only handles travel approvals or one that specifically audits legal documents.
See also: AI Agents
Custom Applications
Software that is tailor-made for your specific needs. Unlike "off-the-shelf" software that you buy and try to fit into your workflow, these are built to match exactly how your team works.
Data Loss Prevention (DLP)
Security tools that act like a digital vault. They monitor how data moves to make sure sensitive information isn't accidentally shared with the wrong people or sent outside the organization.
Data Migration
The process of moving your information from old, "legacy" systems into a modern application. This involves cleaning up the data so it stays organized and useful in its new home.
Detail Form
The specific screen you see when you click on a single record. It’s organized to show all the deep details of that item in a way that is easy to read or edit.
Digital Transformation
The big-picture goal of using technology is to make an organization faster and smarter. SnapApp helps by replacing slow, manual paperwork with modern, automated systems.
See also: Intelligent Automation
Document AI
Technology that "reads" your documents for you. It can look at a PDF or a photo of a form and instantly pull out the text and numbers so you don't have to type them in manually.
See also: Document Process Automation
Document Generation
This automatically creates polished files like contracts or reports by pulling data directly from your app and plugging it into a professional template.
Document Process Automation
The automated "assembly line" for files. It handles everything from receiving a document to filing it in the right folder and notifying the right person.
See also: Workflow Automation
Document Verification
Using technology to check if a document is authentic and if the information on it matches your records.
Enterprise App Development
Building software designed for large organizations. These apps focus on high security, regulatory compliance and the ability to handle thousands of users at once.
See also: Compliance Framework
Enterprise Management
The high-level control of all your systems and users. This includes deciding who has access to what and monitoring how well your applications are performing.
Gen AI (Generative AI)
A type of AI that can create things like writing a summary, drafting an email, or suggesting a fix for a piece of code based on the patterns it has learned.
Generative AI Application Development
Using Generative AI to help build your apps. It can help generate the initial layout or logic of an application, which significantly speeds up the time it takes to go from an idea to a finished product.
See also: Gen AI (Generative AI)
Government App Development
Creating software specifically for the public sector. This requires a heavy focus on accessibility (making sure everyone can use it) and strict security to protect citizen data.
Grants Management
A specialized process that tracks a grant from the initial application through the funding and final reporting stages.
See also: Case Management
Healthcare App Development
Building apps that follow strict medical privacy laws (like HIPAA). These are used for things like patient check-ins or managing insurance claims securely.
Inspector View
An "under the hood" look at a specific part of your app. It’s a menu that lets admins change the settings or behavior of a button, field, or component.
Intelligent Automation
This is what happens when you combine basic automation with AI. It’s not just "if this, then that"; it’s automation that can make smart decisions based on the data it sees.
See also: AI Analytics and Automation
Intuitive Interface
An app design that is easy to navigate. It’s built so that a new user can figure out how to use it without needing extensive training.
List View
A classic way to look at data is organized in rows and columns like a spreadsheet. It’s the best way to see many records at once.
Low Code
A way to build apps using visual tools and "drag-and-drop" blocks. It means you don't have to be a professional coder to create powerful tools.
See also: No-Code
Low Code Application Builder
The platform, like SnapApp, that provides the visual tools to build apps. It gives you a safe, secure environment to build and launch your apps quickly.
See also: App Builder
Low Code Automation
Setting up automated workflows visually. You can draw a map of how a task should move from person to person without writing any complicated scripts.
See also: Workflow Automation
Low Code Use Cases
Real-world examples of what you can build with low code, such as an equipment tracker, a hiring portal, or a system for managing office requests.
Machine Learning (ML)
A part of AI where the computer gets better at a task the more it does it. It learns from past data to make better predictions or suggestions in the future.
Map View
A way to see your data geographically. If your records have addresses or coordinates, they show up as pins on an interactive map.
Natural Language Processing (NLP)
The technology that allows a computer to understand "human" language. It’s what lets you type a question in plain English and have the AI understand your intent.
No Code
A way for people with no technical background to build simple apps and automations using only visual menus and settings.
See also: Low Code
Task Management
The "to-do list" for your app. It keeps track of who is doing what, when it's due, and what the current status is, so everyone stays on the same page.
Trusted Provider Authentication
A secure way to log in. Instead of creating a new password, users log in using a service your company already trusts (like Microsoft or Google).
Web Application
Software that you open in your web browser instead of downloading an icon to your desktop. This makes it accessible from any device with an internet connection.
Workflow Automation
Workflow automation uses business rules to route tasks and data through predefined processes automatically.
