Which statement best describes the primary function of FME Flow Apps?

• A. Share a workspace with a coworker as an application
• B. Run a workspace programmatically
• C. Share a workspace through the Flow UI
• D. Download a workspace to Workbench

Answer: (A)

Flow Apps are designed to package a workspace into a ready-to-run application that colleagues can use without needing to open Workbench. The main value is distribution: you turn a workspace into a user-friendly app that others can run from the Flow UI, with a simple interface for inputs and outputs. This makes sharing and executing workflows with coworkers straightforward and consistent. Running a workspace programmatically describes automation control via APIs, which isn’t the primary purpose of Flow Apps. Sharing through the Flow UI is a way to access the app, but it’s the distribution mechanism rather than the core function. Downloading a workspace to Workbench is not what Flow Apps do.
