The finance and operations (Dynamics 365) mobile app and platform have been deprecated. For more information, see Removed or deprecated platform features.

An application is a unit of runtime execution with sandboxing around concepts and data used inside of it. Each application consists of pages, actions, data queries, and logic that glue them together. An application is primarily described with a declarative metadata system, and can have an accompanying imperative extension model.

The imperative extension of the application is typically defined in a script module with a designated entry point, the main function, which allows the imperative logic to integrate with the application life cycle.
