An Enterprise user is someone who needs to login to Joget platform to use the system.

The Enterprise Edition comes default with "3 Users free". The "3 users" refer to users who can login to Joget platform .

...
UIs and apps created?
Yes; apps (processes, forms, datalists and userviewsUIs) can be deleted, imported and exported.
Why isn't there a Cancel button for the
...
UI form? Currently, there is only a Save Draft/Submit button.
If your process requires users to "reject" or "cancel" a task, it can and should be designed into your process itself.
For example, in your form, include an option to "accept", "complete" or "reject". Or use a feature to allow submission of a form before starting a process by mapping the form to the "Run Process" activity.
Also, the administrator can manually stop a process while it is running. And to allow end users to withdraw their own started process instances, you can also take advantage of the Process Enhancement Plugin from the Joget Marketplace.

Yes; you can export the whole app to backup. Do see this guide, Import and Export Apps and App Configuration Management.
Once a process is approved, can the process be designed such that it automatically kick-starts another process?
Yes; you . You can automatically kick-start another process after one ends, using the JSON Tool plugin and with combination of the API Builder plugin from the Joget Marketplace.
Why do I keep getting "Please wait while the image is being generated..." message for my Process thumbnail?
You will get this only when you're viewing the process for the first time and only if your process is very complicated, with many activities. It will then require some time to generate the image. Sometimes, it can also take very long because of multiple processes in your app. Generating the previerw preview image for each process can take a longer time.

Monitoring FAQ (Process Archiving)
What is the purpose/benefit of the Archive completed process feature?
The purpose is for faster performance when Joget works with the SHK process tables for active processes, by keeping the main SHK tables "small".
How does it work?
When you enable the General Settings "Archive Process On Completion" property, it will only archive all future new completed process records (applies to 8.0.6 and older builds only). The old or existing completed process records will remain unchanged. Process archiving on completed processes "moves" the process records to the following DB tables: wf_history_activity, wf_history_process, wf_process_link_history.
Is it possible to access an archived process again? How long archived processes are accessible?
Yes, archived processes are accessible in the Admin Bar > Monitor screen or via the above process history tables.
What is the difference between configuring the settings using the "Enable" button in "Completed Processes" OR selecting "Archive Process On Completion" on the "General Settings" page?
When you set the General Settings "Archive Process On Completion" property, only future process records will be written to the process history tables. For the existing process records, there is where the "Enable" button does, to migrate (move) all completed process records to the history tables. We would recommend you perform the "Enable" after office hours as this will cause your Joget database to be very busy depending on how many completed process records you have in your system.
How long will it approximately take to archive all the items once they click the "Enable" button?
Estimating the duration is challenging due to numerous variables outside our measurement scope. We suggest initiating the archiving process after Friday office hours, allowing it to autonomously complete upon conclusion.
