Each solution area is divided into activity-based use cases.

System applications

Two system applications, Task Management and Appointments, are included in every Archer deployment, regardless of which use cases you have licensed.

On-demand applications

On-Demand Applications (ODAs) are applications that are built from scratch to support ancillary processes. An ODA allows administrators to create their own configurable application or use pre-built Archer Exchange offerings, which can leverage advanced workflow, notifications, reporting, access control capabilities and more. ODAs are not part of the standard Archer solutions and use cases and require additional licensing.

Data Dictionaries

Each use case comes with a Data Dictionary, which gives a detailed look into the applications and questionnaires included in each use case.

Obtain the Data Dictionary for the use case by contacting your Archer Account Representative.
