Welcome to Syniti Construct Help

Syniti Construct architecture creates powerfully simple, codeless web applications, known as WebApps, with inherent business logic. It offers a robust way to dynamically design scalable and secure WebApps that complement or extend business processes.

Within the sections of this application, a user will build security for the WebApps and pages; design the pages using validation rules and checking table values; and provide the end user a process to enrich or construct new data to meet the changes desired.
