Build Section Overview

The Build section is where you create and organize the major functional components of your Space. This includes setting up Kapps, managing files, defining data models, and building workflows.

Everything created here provides the building blocks used in your forms, automation, and integrations across the platform.

File Resources

File Resources are files stored inside your Space that can be referenced throughout the platform. These include images, JavaScript libraries, stylesheets, icons, and more.

You can upload files and organize them using:

Agent Slugs: Groups of related files tied to a functional area (e.g., branding, scripts)
Filestore Slug: Indicates where the file should live (e.g., private, public, shared)
Slug: The unique name for referencing the file in themes or forms

Each file resource can also have its own Security Policy, controlling who can access or modify it.

File Resources are frequently used in portal themes, form behaviors, and custom branding.

Kapps

Kapps act as containers for Forms, Categories, and Workflows related to a business function. Examples include "HR Services," "IT Requests," or "Facilities Management."

From this section, you can:

Create a new Kapp

Delete Kapps

Models

Models allow you to define reusable data structures and create abstractions of external systems via Bridges. This means you can represent things like "Departments," "Devices," or "Locations" inside the Kinetic Platform, regardless of where the data actually lives.

Models are created in the Build section
They are powered by Bridge Models and Mappings
They are deeply tied to Plugins and Integrations

For a deeper dive, see the Integrations & Plugins Section ➜

Workflows (Space-Level)

This area shows all workflows defined at the Space level, not tied to a specific Form or Kapp. These workflows are reusable and often power cross-cutting automation like system notifications, scheduled jobs, or centralized processing logic.

Here you can manage:

Space Workflows: Manage and build Space-Wide workflows.
Trees: Full automation sequences
Routines: Small reusable snippets of logic
WebAPIs: Custom endpoints for triggering workflows or returning data
Workflow Sources: Define where workflow triggers originate (forms, APIs, events)

Form- and Kapp-level workflows are managed separately when building forms.
Space-level workflows are visible to all Kapps and are ideal for global logic.
