Building a internal tool app with Adalo
An app your own team uses to get work done, rather than a public product.
Internal tools trade polish for speed, but they still need roles, an audit trail and data that other systems can read.
What this kind of app usually needs
- Roles, so each person only sees what they need
- Fast data entry and editing screens
- A record of who changed what
- Data other systems can read through an API
- Bulk import from spreadsheets
The parts that take the most work
Roles and access
One screen with visibility conditions beats a duplicate screen per role.
Shared data
Internal data is usually needed elsewhere too, expose it through an API rather than trapping it in the app.
Bulk data entry
Importing and validating spreadsheets is a recurring task.
