System applications
Two system applications, Task Management and Appointments, are included in every deployment, regardless of which Archer solution use cases you have licensed.
Building solutions
By grouping applications into a solution, you can also search those applications as a single entity, access reports for just those applications from the Reports Listing, and more.
An application can be grouped into multiple solutions. For example, a Contacts application can be associated with Vendor Management, Customer Relationship Management, and Service Request solutions. By grouping an application with multiple solutions, you can reuse the same information for a variety of purposes.
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.
