AcceleratorsWhat Are Accelerators?
An item of computer hardware that increases the speed at which a program or function operates.
Accelerators in Unqork
Apps (such as snippets, templates, and integrations) that allow creators to build and configure apps faster. For example: Product Builder and Case Management.
Application
What Is an Application?
A web application is a type of software that uses web browsers to perform tasks.
Applications in Unqork
Unqork builds web applications. In Unqork an application is a program used to perform specific tasks. An application can be one of two types: workflow or module.

Business Intelligence (BI) ConnectorWhat Is a Business Intelligence (BI) Connector?
An interface that connects to a data set. Allows an authorized user to view and visualize data from a data set.
Business Intelligence (BI) Connectors in Unqork
Unqork can host and integrate with the MongoDB Connector for BI to connect to any data set compatible with Open Database Connectivity (ODBC).

Canvas
What Is a Canvas?
A space or container used to organize and store the elements of an application.
Canvases in Unqork
The blank space inside the Module Builder where you drag and drop components to build out a module.
When you configure a Data Workflow component, another blank canvas displays. This is where you drag and drop operators to build out a data workflow.
Certificates
What Are Certificates?
An electronic document used to authenticate users, servers, or services in a public key infrastructure (PKI). Certificates contain information about public keys, key owners, and the digital signature of the validating entity.
Certificates in Unqork
A digital tool Unqork uses to add an additional layer of security and to establish trusted connections when integrating external services. Certificates are required for a trusted, secure connection. They are critical in creating a secure enterprise environment, protecting data in transit, and preventing breaches. Unqork's Certificate Management feature allows users to manage their certificates and supports Mutual Transport Layer Security (mTLS) certificates.
Component
What Is a Component?
A part of a software system or application.
Components in Unqork
The smallest building blocks in Unqork. Use components to build the structure and functionality of modules.
Component Library
What Is a Component Library?
A set of prewritten functions that provide the building blocks for software design or development. They're separately configured then connected to build a multifunctional application, similar to the distinct parts of a machine.
Component Libraries ensure consistency and efficiency across design projects on a platform.
Component Libraries in Unqork
The smallest building blocks for designing and configuring modules. Unqork components range in purpose, from creating simple fields to adding predefined logic to applications. The Component Library is stored in the Module Editor toolbar and is grouped into accessible categories.
Creator
What Is a Creator?
A person who develops computer software.
Creators in Unqork
All Unqork users; anyone who is inside the Unqork platform. Also known as Designer Users.

Data and Event Processing FieldsWhat Are Data and Event Processing Fields?
Fields that manage data in motion. These fields create dynamic applications based on logic to track, analyze, and process data input by end-users.
Data and Event Processing Fields in Unqork
Fields that incorporate predefined logic to create dynamic or interactive applications that respond differently to user input. These components are stored together in the Data & Events Processing group at the left of the Module Builder.
Data Workflow
What Is a Data Workflow?
A collection of data processes that gathers and manipulates data to create a desired result. A workflow is a set of steps that optimizes a business process from initiation to completion. Input data can move sequentially or parallel depending on the goal of the project.
Data Workflows in Unqork
Organize and manipulate data from one or more inputs and map the data to an output via a drag-and-drop interface. The Data Workflow component is an Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) tool that transforms, manipulates, and moves data in almost-infinite ways. Data Workflow operators are assembled, configured, and joined together on the Data Workflow canvas to create personalized strings of data processes.
Decryption
What Is Decryption?
A way to decode previously encoded data so that it can only be read by trusted systems. A way to decode a message that was previously encrypted. Encryption uses an algorithm to encrypt (scramble) data and then uses a key for the receiving party to decrypt (unscramble) the information. In its decrypted (or readable) form, the data is referred to as plaintext.
Decryption in Unqork
An essential security standard to protect your data. Unqork supports the GPG (GNU Privacy Guard) service which allows users to decrypt files. Unqork uses the highest encryption and decryption standards (AES 256 and TLS v1.2+) to secure data at rest and in transit.
Designer
What Is a Designer?
One who creates and executes plans for a new product style or structure.
Designer in Unqork
The entire Unqork application building web platform with which Creators interact.

EncryptionWhat Is Encryption?
A way to encode data so that it can only be read by trusted systems able to decode the data. Encryption uses an algorithm to encrypt (scramble) data and then uses a key for the receiving party to decrypt (unscramble) the information. In its encrypted (or unreadable) form, the data is referred to as ciphertext.
Encryption in Unqork
An essential security standard to protect your data. Unqork supports the GPG (GNU Privacy Guard) service which allows users to encrypt files. Unqork uses the highest encryption and decryption standards (AES 256 and TLS v1.2+) to secure data at rest and in transit.
ExpressCloud
What Is ExpressCloud?
A way to bypass the public Internet and connect your Wide-area Network (WAN) directly to a Cloud Service Provider (CSP), making the CSP a virtual endpoint on your network.
ExpressCloud in Unqork
A cloud-based platform as a service (PaaS) that gives you the ability to run applications and services without having to install or manage middleware/hardware infrastructure or directly manage your own cloud platform. You can deploy applications to ExpressCloud directly from Unqork’s management console, Conductor.
