You can access all of these options in the App Editor in two ways.
Note that you will need to enter your variables as @App Info. in order to access data from the Expression Editor.
App Info
App Info is a subset of the data available within an application automatically. This data can be used both in Widgets and Triggers. This includes the current date and time, the app name, the app version, the current shift, and more.
Variables
Variables are a location to store app information. Variables have a specific type that must match the contents they can store.
Variables are only accessible within a single application and are cleared when the app is restarted or completed.

Trigger
Triggers are the mechanism to do things in Tulip Apps. Store data, move users between Steps, Interface with hardware, Etc.
Triggers can be added to widgets, machines, devices, apps, and steps.
Action
Actions are different operations that can be executed in Triggers. Actions cannot move users to other apps, or other steps.
Many Actions can be added to a single Trigger.
ex. Store the value of variable x to table field y, Print app step, Adjust Edge device GPIO pin.

Station
Stations are a digital representation of a physical place or device in your facility. Stations are 1:1 with Interfaces (display devices) running Tulip Player, but Stations can also be assigned Edge Devices, Tulip Vision Camera Configurations, Machines, and more.
Step
A view your users will see within an application. Steps can be viewed chronologically or in whatever order best fits your process.
Steps can be grouped into Step Groups to manage and organize your app Steps.
Step Group
Step Groups are a mechanism to organize and group individual steps. Step groups can be duplicated/deleted and reordered like individual steps.
