Why are Gallery Apps commonly used?

• A. As a way to create a collection of FME Server apps for people to use.
• B. As a way to store apps outside of FME Server.
• C. As an easy way to make apps public.
• D. As a way to restrict access to certain apps.

Answer: (A)

Gallery Apps provide a centralized collection of FME Server apps for users to access and run. They act as a catalog or portal within FME Server, allowing you to curate, organize, and publish multiple apps so end users can discover and use them from one place. This makes it easier to share a consistent set of tools across teams and projects and promotes reuse, since users can browse the gallery rather than locating each app individually. The primary aim is convenient distribution and discovery of multiple apps; they’re not primarily about storing apps outside the server, nor simply about making apps public or about restricting access.
