The Kiptr application is referencing the terms like Project, Element, Type, and Field throughout the user interface. Understanding its definitions and applications will make navigation and workflow easy.
| Info: The user defines the Element's purpose by assigning a Type to it. Each Element Type uses Field's to further describe its properties. |
Type
- Building a Project is performed by selecting a Type of Element and placing it in the desired location inside the Project Tree.
