How to create custom apps

Learn how to add an application which is not listed in the App Store

Any workspace member (in except of guest users) can create a custom app and add it to any desktop they have permission to manage apps: members with the user's rights can add it to their private desktops only and workspace owners and administrators can add them to internal desktops

1) If you do not have already added apps, choose the desktop you want add a content to, click + Add button on the left side and choose Add an app option in the drop-down menu

2) Alternatively, if you already have apps added, choose a desktop you want add a content to and click + button in the Apps menu

3) Click Create custom app button

‍

4) Enter the app's name, URL ( you can copy-paste this from your web browser), tick the box Fetch app image (alternatively, you can upload this from your device) and choose a category. Click Add application button when you are ready

‍

5) You can continue with adding other content by clicking Continue to App Store or just click Add custom app to the desktop if you do not wish to add more apps at the moment

A custom app added by a user will appear on the desktop where it was created (if the user chooses to add it to the desktop immediately), in the section My apps , in the section Used at (list of apps used by the workspace) and in the section Custom apps

Custom apps can be only edited by the workspace owners and administrators
