Core concepts

Comind is a hybrid low-code platform for business process automation. It includes pre-built applications for project management, CRM, marketing, knowledge management, and other business functions. Applications can be modified and customized as requirements change - by non-technical users through visual interfaces or by developers through code.

The platform is organized around three core concepts: workspaces, apps, and users.

Users​

  1. Users are added to the platform by the system admin through email invitations or SSO integration.
  2. Users can participate in multiple workspaces based on their assigned roles.
  3. External users (clients, contractors) can be invited to specific workspaces.

Workspaces​

  1. A workspace is a container for users and apps working on related activities.
  2. Workspaces are typically created for:
    1. Specific projects (software development, marketing campaigns)
    2. Ongoing team functions (IT support, HR, sales)
  3. Each workspace has a workspace admin who can:
    1. Install and configure apps
    2. Invite users and assign permissions

Apps​

  1. Apps are tools for specific business functions: task management, invoicing, documentation, issue tracking, etc.
  2. Users can create, edit, and view records within apps using different formats (tables, charts, boards, calendars).
  3. Workspace admins can:
    1. Install existing apps
    2. Create new apps
    3. Copy and modify existing apps
  4. Apps can be customized to meet specific workspace requirements.
  5. All data and files are stored as records within apps.

How it works together​

  1. Users are assigned to workspaces based on their roles and responsibilities.
  2. Apps are installed in workspaces to support the team's work.
  3. Team members use the apps within their workspaces to complete tasks and collaborate.

Examples​

Marketing team: Works in a "Marketing" workspace using "Leads" and "Campaigns" apps.

Development team: Works in a "Product X Development" workspace using "Tasks", "Iterations", "Bugs", "Releases", and "Time-Tracking" apps.
