We've taken out the 'Cost' part of the meeting and added in 'Inventory' and 'Productivity'. ## Setup To configure the app, first you have to set target numbers for each category: safety, quality, delivery, inventory, productivity. These numbers were set randomly in this app. You also have to adjust the default values of each target Variable and update the Analytics: adding your numbers at the reference lines within the analytics. The app saves the current date and time as **Selected Date** and **Today's Date**. On the **Status** step, you can modify **Selected Date**. However, steps like **Safety**, **Inventory**, etc., use **Today's Date**, which can't be changed. ## Tables Used The app utilizes two Tables: **Performance Metrics** and **Actions**. The **Action** table is implemented to log different actions, whereas the **Performance Metrics** table assists in logging the daily meeting results. ## How it works The main step of the app is the **Status** step. Here, you are presented with a date search Widget and five columns for **safety**, **quality**, **delivery**, **inventory**, and **productivity**. Beneath each category, there are two analytics: one displaying the trend and the other exhibiting the recorded number for the selected date. Additionally, each category includes an analytics that showcases the number of open actions. ![Screenshot 2024-01-31 at 13.10.05.png](https://cdn.document360.io/7c6ff534-cad3-4fc8-9583-912c4016362f/Images/Documentation/Screenshot%202024-01-31%20at%2013.10.05.png) If the user selects a different day, the 'selected date' variable will change, which in turn will affect the analytics. It will reflect the recorded numbers for that selected date. If the user select the safety's expand button the app will navigate to the Safety's step. ![Screenshot 2024-01-31 at 13.16.39.png](https://cdn.document360.io/7c6ff534-cad3-4fc8-9583-912c4016362f/Images/Documentation/Screenshot%202024-01-31%20at%2013.16.39.png) This step is divided into four sections: **Today's Date**, **Log Today's Result**, **Analytics**, and **Open Actions**. **Today's Date**, which was created at the start of the app, is presented at the top. In the **Log Today's Result** section, you can input a number and click on the **Submit** button to save this number to the **Performance Metrics** table. This logic also includes color changes. It checks whether the reported actual number is higher or lower than the target number. If it doesn't reach the goal, the Safety label turns **red**; if it does, the label becomes **green**. In the **Analytics** section, you can see the trend on a larger scale. There's also an empty space meant for a Pareto chart, allowing you to create a chart that best suits your operations. In the **Open Actions** section, all open actions related to the safety category are displayed. By selecting one from the table, you can view its details beneath the table. Additionally, you have the option to create new actions by clicking on the **Create Action** button. The app will navigate to the **Create Action** step where you can create new actions. ![Screenshot 2024-01-31 at 13.36.28.png](https://cdn.document360.io/7c6ff534-cad3-4fc8-9583-912c4016362f/Images/Documentation/Screenshot%202024-01-31%20at%2013.36.28.png) The remaining category steps have the same structure as the safety one. ## Further Reading - [Composable vs. Monolithic Architectures](/r230/docs/composable-monolithic-architectures) - [How to Build Composable Apps](/r230/docs/how-to-build-composable-apps) - [Composable Lean App Suite](https://support.tulip.co/docs/composable-lean-app-suite) **Variable** **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. **Analytics** **Analytics** are live updating graphs and metrics calculated based on app data, Table data, and machine data. Analytics can be embedded and dynamically filtered within an application. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/7c6ff534-cad3-4fc8-9583-912c4016362f/Images/Documentation/image-1662410510869.png) **Tulip Tables** **Tulip Tables** are a global location to store your production data. **Tables** are made up of **Records** (rows).
