# About Box Apps

<div className="article_labels_list" style={{display: 'none'}} dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{__html: "Overview , Admin , Established , P1 , Box Apps"}} />

Create no-code applications using metadata with Box Apps! Automate processes such as contract management, onboarding, asset management, invoicing, and more, by providing your teams with easy to navigate, practical, graphic apps. Box Apps utilizes the power of different Box products: [Box Relay](https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/p/Product_Page_2023?section-id=21356759103507), Box Forms, [Box Doc Gen](/en/box-doc-gen), [Box Sign](https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/p/Product_Page_2023?section-id=21356750924563), and [Box AI](https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/p/Product_Page_2023?section-id=22012531180947). For example, in contract management, Box Relay kicks off the process with Box Forms, where you provide basic information about the contract, then Box Doc Gen generates the contract, and Relay routes it to Box Sign for approvals and signatures. See [Sending a document for signature](/en/box-sign/sending-a-document-for-signature) to learn more about the Box Sign approval process.

**Prerequisites**

Pick or create a folder for your content. To do so:

2. Add your folder in the **Pick a file or folder** dialog on the **File or Folder** block.
3. Click the **New** button once you are in the correct folder and select one of the two options: **File Upload** or **Folder**.

Add metadata during the upload process using AutoFill in the **Current File** tab. To check the upload progress, go to the **Uploads** tab.
