You have probably already come across the "Market Place" feature in other software solutions. A market place usually provides applications that you can use as additional services in connection with a software solution. You can then link these apps to your program for various use cases. At Virtrex, this is our outlook. However, before we get to that point, we still need to develop one or two apps that can be made available here.
In principle, all functionalities that support you in using Virtrex are possible, provided that the original supplier allows this. Currently, we offer the Virtrex Academy integrations as an app to provide you and your employees with all relevant content directly and up-to-date in your admin panel.
To integrate apps, click on "Apps" in your Virtrex Admin Panel within the left menu bar. Here you will find the "Add App" button. Once you have clicked the button, a pop-up will open asking you to provide JSON data to describe the app. This contains, for example, a title and description, but also the URL to which your app should link. Currently we offer Two inclusion types for apps:
The type "AdminEntry", with which apps can be integrated into the admin panel.
The type "VisitorEntry", with which apps can be integrated into your Expo.
A Documentation of an examplary JSON file can also be found in the installation area.
Once you have completed this step, you will see the added app once on the "Apps" overview page or in the left menu bar when you open the "Apps" tab.
If you also want to exchange data with Virtrex via your installed app, you may need to create an API key to link the app. You can set this up under "Settings" > "API integration". You can obtain further information on this from the provider of the app.
Note: In addition, when integrating an external app, you should pay attention to the corresponding data protection provisions of the provider.
We would be happy to support you by providing you with all relevant information. To do so, please contact us at support@virtrex.de. We also welcome your feedback on apps you would like to use.
