A Solution is an extension package installed on the platform by whoever runs it. Installing one does not turn it on: each workspace chooses. Solutions in the admin panel menu lists every installed Solution and lets you turn it on or off for this workspace. It is open to anyone who can manage tenant settings, which by default means administrators. Everything starts off. A Solution you never turned on does nothing in your flows or in the console.

​
What the page shows

One card per Solution:
  • its name, description, version and package;
  • whether it is On or Off, and who last changed that and when (times are in UTC);
  • What it adds — the flow actions it provides (the ones you pick in a call node) and, when it has a console interface, its application, its pages and the places it adds to existing screens: actions, dashboard widgets, settings tabs, table columns and shell elements.
Only Solutions the platform accepts are listed. A package whose manifest is wrong is refused when the platform is updated, so it never appears here.

​
Turning one on

Click Turn on. The change is immediate, and the next flow run can use the Solution’s actions. The page records you as the person who did it, in the same journal the command line writes to.

​
Turning one off

Click Turn off and confirm. From then on:
  • a flow that reaches one of its actions leaves that node by the error output with the reason solution_inactive, so the flow can decide what to do; a session already running is not cut off, it takes that route on its next call;
  • whatever it added to the console disappears;
  • its data is kept. Turning it off never deletes anything the Solution stored, and turning it on again brings it back as it was.

​
A console interface that does not fit

A Solution’s console interface is built against a version of the interface kit, Vue and Inertia. When the console ships a version outside what the Solution declares, its card says Cannot be turned on and lists each one: what it was built for and what this platform ships. Turn on stays disabled, and a request that skips the button is refused with the same reason. The Solution’s data and its flow actions are untouched; ask whoever maintains the Solution for a build that matches. A Solution that is already on can still be turned off. If the interface has not been published yet, the card says so. It is published when the platform is next updated.

​
No longer installed

If a package was removed while a workspace still had it on, it is listed under No longer installed. It does nothing, and Turn off clears it. If the package comes back, you can turn it on again.
