Areas
Areas allow you to organize your project into logical sections with distinct access control, navigation, and tailored data views. They provide a way to separate high-level modules (like an "Admin Panel" vs a "Customer Portal") within a single project.
Core Concepts
- Logical Segregation: Group related collections and functions into dedicated workspaces.
- Granular Access: Assign specific roles and authentication collections to each area.
- Tailored Views: Customize how collections appear uniquely in different areas.
Feature Menu
Areas are configured through several specialized tabs:
- General — Manage area identity, authentication, and collection visibility.
- ACL — Define area-specific access control rules.
- Menu — Customize the navigation sidebar for users in this area.
- Theme — Tailor the visual appearance and branding.
Getting Started
To begin configuring your project structure, start with the General settings.
- General Configuration — Define the area's name, roles, and which data it manages.
note
Features like Populate from User Session are now managed within each Area configuration to allow for more granular, area-specific control.
