# Concepts & Glossary

> Key terms used across Dimension

A single-page reference for every Dimension-specific term. Grouped by where you'll first encounter them.

## Modes & navigation

| Term | Meaning |
| - | - |
| **Gallery** | The ready-made apps, data feeds and actions you can import into a workspace, including the [pre-built apps](https://docs.dimension.io/pre-built-apps.md). Found below each list in Builder Mode. |
| **Workspace** | An isolated container for one project's Data Feeds, Actions, and Studio apps. See [Workspaces](https://docs.dimension.io/workspaces.md). The active workspace is shown as a chip next to the Dimension logo in the header. |
| **View** | The default, read-only mode users see when launching an app — no editor visible. |
| **Builder Mode** | The build-and-edit experience, toggled via the **wrench icon** next to the Dimension logo. Exposes the Workspace switcher, the left rail, the Planner, and right-click context menus on tiles. Toggling it off goes back to View mode. |
| **Command Menu (⌘K)** | A searchable palette listing apps in the active workspace plus platform commands (Home, Switch Workspace, Create New…, Toggle Theme, Import, Exit Builder Mode, Feedback, Settings). The header **Search…** input is dual-mode: `⌘F` searches within the current view, `⌘K` opens this palette. |
| **Left rail** | The icons on the left of every Builder Mode screen: **Connect Data**, **Create Actions**, **Build Apps** and **Store Credentials**. Each list has a **+ New** button. |
| **Workspace switcher** | The chip in the header (e.g. *Gallery*) that opens the **Workspaces** dropdown — "Isolated environments for your projects". Click any workspace to switch, or **+ New** to create a fresh one. |

## Pillars & artefacts

| Term | Meaning |
| - | - |
| **Application (App)** | A Studio-built dashboard, report, tool, or tracker. Lives inside a Workspace. |
| **Data Feed** | An external source connected via Composer — handles authentication, pagination, and schema mapping. Data Feeds are workspace-scoped. |
| **Action** | A reusable integration that a Studio app can invoke — currently **Webhook** or **Email**. See [Actions](https://docs.dimension.io/actions.md). |
| **Component Template** | One of the pre-built UI building blocks (buttons, charts, tables, forms) you can drop into an app from the Composer footer's **+** menu. |
| **Planner** | A right-pane assistant that turns a high-level goal into a step-by-step plan with ready-to-launch prompts for each Composer. See [Planner](https://docs.dimension.io/planner.md). The Planner panel includes a **Switch plan** button to swap between saved plans. |
| **Plan** | A Planner-generated multi-step build sequence. Saved per workspace; switch between plans via the **Switch plan** button at the top of the Planner. |

## Composer

| Term | Meaning |
| - | - |
| **Composer** | The natural-language interface used to build Data Feeds, Actions, and Studio apps. Each pillar has its own Composer with the same conversational pattern. |
| **Inspect Component** | Selection mode in the Studio Composer footer — click an element in the live preview to reference it in your next prompt. Also called "snipping". |
| **Clear Chat** | Resets the current Composer conversation. The artefact itself isn't affected. |
| **Restore checkpoint** | A revert option that appears inline in the Composer chat after edits, letting you undo the changes from that specific message. |
| **AI Credits** | Per-billing-period quota tracked under Settings → Usage. Every Composer interaction consumes credits. |

## Studio editor

| Term | Meaning |
| - | - |
| **X-Ray** | The source-code viewer (the `< >` button in the editor toolbar). Browse the React/TypeScript source, switch between Draft and Published versions of every file, and download the full package. |
| **Draft** | Your unpublished changes to an app — visible only to you while you build. |
| **Published** | The live version of an app, visible to everyone with access in the workspace. |
| **Schema** | The field shape (names + types) the AI sees — never the data values, unless **AI data access** is enabled under Settings → AI. |
| **Show Tutorial** | A guided in-app walkthrough for any application, available from the editor **⋯ menu**. Re-runs the tutorial for the current app. |
| **Inspect Element** | Selection mode reached via **⋯ → Advanced → Inspect Element** (or the selection arrow in the Composer footer). Captures a reference to a specific live-preview element for use in the next prompt. |

## Distribution

| Term | Meaning |
| - | - |
| **Clone** | Create an editable copy of an app — the clone becomes a fresh Draft you fully own, in the current workspace. |
| **Share URL** | A shareable link to the Published view of an app, of the form `https://<tenant>/app/<slug>`. The slug is editable. |
| **Generate PDF** | Export the current view as A4/A3 Portrait or Landscape. Captures whatever state is on screen (filters, sidebar page, search). *Schedule PDFs* is on the roadmap. |
| **Export** | Download the full application package — source code, dependencies, README — as a file. Available via X-Ray (Download Package) or **⋯ → Advanced → Export**. |
| **Migrate** | Move an app — and the Data Feeds and Actions it depends on — between workspaces, via **⋯ → Advanced → Migrate**. |

\| **Import** | Upload a file exported from Dimension (a data feed, action, app or workspace) via the user menu. |

## Settings & limits

| Term | Meaning |
| - | - |
| **Subscription plan** | Your Dimension subscription (e.g. Starter). Shown on Settings → Usage. |
| **Quotas** | Per-billing-period limits on AI Credits, Feeds, Records ingested, Actions, Apps, and Users. Overage doesn't block usage on Enterprise plans — contact sales to raise limits. |
| **Role** | A permission profile. Four defaults — **Super Admin**, **Analyst**, **Viewer**, **Limited Viewer** — and custom roles you create. |
| **Team** | A group of users that can be granted access to a Workspace. Defined under Settings → User Management → Teams. |
| **Shortcut** | A short URL (under Settings → Shortcuts) that redirects to one of your Published apps — auto-created on publish. *Not* a keyboard shortcut. |
| **Audit Log** | A record of platform events under Settings → Logs. Columns: Action Title, Description, Platform Section, Email, Timestamp. |
| **Request History** | Request history under Settings → Logs — outbound calls from Data Feeds and Actions. |

## In-app (after launch)

| Term | Meaning |
| - | - |
| **App sidebar** | The collapsible left-hand navigation *inside* a launched app, listing the app's pages and a Settings entry. |
| **In-app Settings** | Per-app preferences (e.g. theme, thresholds, configuration values) — distinct from the global Settings area. |
| **Chat Widget** | The floating support bubble in the bottom-right of every Dimension page — opens a live chat with the support team. |
| **Notifications** | The bell icon in the header — surfaces alerts about your apps and workspace. Fires on events like *Publish app* and *Updated Shortcut*. A red dot indicates unread; the panel has a **Clear** link. |
