   4. Settings - setting for the app itself. Here you can change name, provider, GridApp version or type of app (warning! Most likely you never need to change type of the app. Note: WPA is mistype, it should be PWA)

      

   5. Builds - list of builds for you app. When you click “Save changes” after you can press “Deploy”. It will create a new build which you can find later in this section. For the new app this section is empty

   8. Compute devices - list of real devices, attached to the app. From here you can navigate to device settings and set it up. How to move device (please ping Alexey Khorev if article isn’t linked)

   7. If you want to play around with triggers check section below. Otherwise - we have our first app! Lets try it out on the device. We will add a new one if we don’t have any (link, pls ping Alexey Khorev) or go to an existing one (link, pls ping Alexey Khorev).
