TULIP DOCS (LTS4)Product Specs
This page provides a description as to how the Tulip product functional works and is designed. It is organized into the sections as described below.
System Overview - These describe how Tulip can be configured at the account level, and provide necessary domain information for understanding Tulip concepts.
Routes - Describe the specific views that present a user interface that is served by the admin console that let users CRUD (create, read, update and delete) specific types of data models, and relationships between models, given the appropriate access rights. The documentation of the routes effectively describes how one can use Tulip to created, edit and deploy Tulip solutions.
Models - Describe the digital objects that make up a Tulip solution. Models and attributes that are wholly contained within another model, or are only important in the context of that model, are documented in a nested format with respect to that model.
Components - Describe the complex and custom UI components that are used in multiple places throughout the Tulip platform. Simple components such as buttons, dropdowns, confirmation modals do not require documentation.
