ReadiNow tenants can host multiple applications. Depending on the design of the applications, it is possible to allow data to flow between the applications. This helps to prevent the development of departmental silos.
The diagram below is an example of a single application showing the different platform components and how they relate to each other.

The outer yellow circle represents your Application. You may like to think of this as a container that holds the collection of platform resources used for your solution.
The top purple box shows your Objects. An object is used to define something, like a person or a building. You add fields to the object to specify the details that you are interested in. For example, Person might have Address, Email and Phone. Building might have Address and Number of Floors. It is possible to create links between your objects. These links are called Relationships. For example, Person might have a relationship to Building, to show which people work in which building.
The blue circle is titled Resources. Resources can be thought of as all those things that help you work with your data. For example, a Form allows you to view an existing record or create a new one. Reports show information about multiple records. Charts are a graphical representation of reports. Workflow allow you to automate your business processes, by manipulating data for you.
Finally, the bottom orange box is your Navigation. Navigation allows you to display your resources in line with your application design. For example, a Screen (or dashboard) can display Reports, Forms and Charts. A Board allows you to display a report in a Kanban style. Sections and Tabs allow you to group your application resources into a logical flow.
