What is Endatix?

Endatix Platform is an open-source data collection and management library for .NET.

tip

If you just want to see how to install the platform and read about it later, please go to Setup Using NuGet Package or Setup Using Docker.

It is designed for building secure, scalable, and integrated form-centric applications that work with SurveyJS. Endatix empowers business users with advanced workflows, automation, and meaningful insights.

The platform provides the necessary backend solution for end-to-end data management:

  • defining and managing complex SurveyJS forms
  • integrating them into software products
  • collecting and storing the data
  • processing the collected data

Endatix can be seamlessly integrated into a software product or used as a standalone product.

Core Concepts and Terminology​

Forms and Form Definitions​

In Endatix, a form is the main entity that represents a data collection form. Each form has one active version that contains all the questions, validation rules, and logic for the form powered by SurveyJS JSON model. This active version is called form definition.

Submissions​

A submission is a completed response to a form, containing the data provided by users.
