What is the best use case for FME Flow Apps?

• A. To share a workspace with a coworker as an application
• B. To run a workspace programmatically
• C. To share a workspace through the FME Flow UI
• D. To download and open a workspace from FME Flow directly in FME Workbench

Answer: (A)

FME Flow Apps turn a workspace into a browser-based, ready-to-run application that colleagues can use without installing FME. This makes sharing most effective because it provides a guided user interface, handles input parameters, and delivers consistent results and run history for non-technical users or across teams. Running a workspace programmatically is focused on automation via APIs rather than offering a user-friendly app experience. Sharing through the Flow UI is similar, but Flow Apps specifically package the workflow as an actual app with an interface, not just a workspace link. Downloading and opening in FME Workbench is a desktop workflow approach and isn’t the ideal way to distribute an app for broad, collaborative use.
