​
Domo Instance

An organizations’s Domo Account that includes a suite of no-code, low-code, and high-code tools for building enterprise-grade, end-to-end data pipelines. domoinstance.png

​
Data source

The source provider of the data coming into Domo. datasources.png

​
DataSet

The data extracted from a data source and stored in Domo. dataset.png

​
Data Center

A page in Domo in which you can view and manage DataSets; add new DataSets; combine DataSets; and manage user accounts for different connectors. datacenter.png

​
App Design

A published app design becomes the template which can then be used to power up many instances of that app in Domo, each potentially wired to different DataSets. appdesign.png

​
App Instance

Each App Design can spawn one or many instances of an App (equivalent to a Card in Domo). These instances can be wired up to different DataSets and Collections in Domo. appinstances.png

​
App Manifest

The manifest.json is the required configuration file that defines your app for Domo. 
  {
    "name": "Example comments app", // Name of your App Design
    "version": "1.0", // Version number
    "size": {
      "width": 6,
      "height": 6
    },
    "mapping": [ // Defines the DataSets and schema used in your App Design
      {
      "alias": "sales",
      "dataSetId": "5168da8d-1c72-4e31-ba74-f609f73071dd",
      "fields": [
          {
              "alias": "amount",

          {
              "alias": "name",
              "columnName": "Client Name"
          },
          {

              "columnName": "Contract Initiation Date"
          }
      ]
      }
    ],
    "collections": [ // Defines the AppDB Collections used in your App Design
      {
        "name": "CommentsTable",
        "schema": {"columns":
              [{"name": "user", "type": "STRING"},
                {"name": "comment", "type": "STRING"}]
          },
        "syncEnabled": true // True if you want your collection synced back to a Domo DataSet (schema required)
      },
      {
        "name": "Users"
      }
    ],
    "id": "760ae493-6c29-4e61-8fe3-9c887265ea86" // App Design Id
    "proxyId": "5214dc9d-7ebe-4bf5-a0b9-c66f57a350b1" // App Instance you are developing against (needed for AppDB collection)
  }

​
Wiring Screen

The wiring screen is where you map your App to data in Domo. wiringscreen.png

​
AppDB

A wrapper around a MongoDB database that adds document-level security filters and ensures tight integration with Domo Instances. You can use AppDB as your web application’s database. It enables real-time, read/write functionality in your application. appdb.png

​
Domo App CLI

The main tool you’ll use to create, edit, and publish app designs to your Domo instance. The Domo App CLI is sometimes referred to as ryuu.
