A durable, potentially permanent, saved representation of a concrete class that is stored in the database. An instance corresponds to a row in the relational database, or to a record. An instance consists of properties and values, and some of these property values form a unique key to the instance.

The basic building blocks of an application, rules define the behavior of an application. There are many types of rules, each defining a different type of behavior. For example, rules define the display of a form, the fields that are used in your application, and the flows that define the process of completing work.

The system can reuse rules throughout your application. For example, in an application for ordering replacements parts, you can define a user interface to capture an address, and reuse the same rule for the UI to capture both the mailing address and the billing address for the order.

You define rules in an application to create a business solution for your organization and customers. Rules provide flexibility during the development process and help you design applications more efficiently, so that they can be implemented again in future projects.

A file that you can add to the business process to provide additional information, such as relevant correspondence and documentation. You can group attachments into categories to enhance efficiency and speed up the resolution process. For example, in a car accident insurance claim process, the user can add photographs of a damaged car to the Vehicle damage category and the medical care receipts into the Bodily injury category. Categorization of attachments helps to provide clear separation and context for each file that is associated with the business process.
