Onboarding about platform notions

Concept, Instance and Field

Many notions are used in the platform, like Concept, Instance and Field.
An example can be used to illustrate each of these notions:

How would this example be modelled in the platform? Here is the answer:

It is possible to define Concepts,
and for each concept define its
characteristics (Fields):

Each Instance of a Concept has value for the concept’s Fields. Concepts can be linked together via Association fields:

This example has demonstrated the notions of Concept, Instance and Field. It's important to remember that everything is configurable in the platform.

That's where the notion of View comes in! As with the notions described above, all views can be configured. Here are some of the views available in the platform:

Layout

I’d like to provide information about an instance and see its characteristics displayed. More information can be found here.

The main notions of the platform have been covered. There's no longer any secret to the notion of Concept, Instance, etc!

Now it's time to explore the platform in a little more depth :
