App Info

Access app metadata through special values.

App Info provides special values that let you use information about your app throughout the project. Device Info provides special values about the end user’s device. These values automatically update to reflect changes in your app’s metadata.

You can use App or Device Info special values in Components, Computed Columns, and Actions where special values can be used.

When configuring, you can use these special values:

  • App Title: The name of your app
  • App Description: The description of your app
  • App Icon URL: The URL of your app’s icon
  • App URL: The URL where users can access your app
  • Screen size: The size of the user’s screen. Small for mobile and large for desktop.
