Configuration > Administration > Applications

This page lists applications that are installed and ready to use. It also lets you create and delete applications.

Install an Application

Installing from the Community Marketplace

Go to Configuration and click Help on the left navigation pane.
Click Marketplace.
Select an application category in the sidebar.
Click an Application package to view it's description, frequently asked questions, and other information to help guide your selection.
Click Install.
Click through the user agreement to install the package.

Installing from the Application Catalog

In some platform installations, enabling the Community Marketplace is impractical. In those installations, pre-defined packages are displayed in the application catalog:

Go to Configuration > Administration > Applications.
Click Create New Application.
Click the tab: Create Using Template. A list of applications is displayed, along with their descriptions.
Click the Install button adjacent to the package you want.
Click through the user agreement to install the package.

Create an Application

Go to Configuration > Administration > Applications.
Click Create New Application.
Choose one of the application-creation options:
- Create Using Template
- Create By Import
- Create Using Wizard
Learn more:
- What kind of application do you need?
- Application Construction Wizard

Modify Application Settings

To modify an application:

Go to > Administration > Applications
Click the application name.
Modify it's settings:
Name

The name appears in the application list and in the title bar, when the application is running.

Description

Describe the application for prospective users.

Customize an Application

To customize an application:

Select it from the dropdown list of applications that appears next to your login name at the top of the page.
The application begins running.
Use entries in the Gear menu to make changes.
The entries available to you depend on your privileges.

Any changes you make are immediately effective in the application.

Delete an Application

To delete an application:

Go to > Administration > Applications
Click on the application you intend to delete.
The application settings page appears.
Click [Delete]

Programmatic Adjustments

Although it is unlikely that you will ever need it, the REST application API can also be used to modify application settings.

-===Tab Display Order===
-Based on the user's [[Role]], you can control which objects appear at the top of navigation pane, and their order.
-When the list of selections is empty, the default list of application objects is shown.
-When selections are made, only the selected objects are displayed. That way, objects remain hidden when they aren't needed by a user in a particular role. (You can still get to them, when you need to, using the '''All Items''' link in the application Workspace.)
-Click '''[Reset Tab Display Order]''' to erase any customizations that users have made to their [[Workspace Preference]]. (This action ensures that the display order(s) you define are seen by all users, depending on their role. They can then customize the display further.)
+=== Modify Application Settings ===
+To modify an application:
+# Go to '''[[File:GearIcon.png]] > Administration > Applications'''
+# Click the application name.
+# Modify it's settings:
+#:;Name: The name appears in the application list and in the title bar, when the application is running.
+#:;Description: Describe the application for prospective users.
-===Default View Preferences===
+=== Customize an Application ===
-Based on the user's Role, you can specify the default [[View]] to use for each object in the application, and for the application home page.
+To customize an application:
+# Select it from the dropdown list of applications that appears next to your login name at the top of the page.
+#:The application begins running.
+# Use entries in the [[Gear menu]] to make changes.
+#:The entries available to you depend on your privileges.
+#:Any changes you make are immediately effective in the application.
-To make use of this feature, you must have defined one or more Views. Note, too, that these are ''default'' settings. Users can also define their own views to display the information they have access to.
+===Delete an Application===
+To delete an application:
+# Go to '''[[File:GearIcon.png]] > Administration > Applications'''
+# Click on the application you intend to delete.
+#: The application settings page appears.
+# Click '''[Delete]'''
-Click '''[Reset Default Views]''' to erase any default-views that users may have selected for objects in this application. (This action ensures that the view(s) you define are seen by all users, depending on their role, but does not preclude further customization.)
+===Programmatic Adjustments===
+Although it is unlikely that you will ever need it, the REST [[REST API:application Resource|application]] API can also be used to modify application settings.
