Managing Apps

You can set up custom apps to help you categorize and find frequently-used visuals and dashboards.

For example, you can create new apps, edit existing apps, assign visuals and dashboards to apps, remove visuals and dashboards from apps, delete visuals and dashboards when examining the app, and delete apps.

To understand access permissions for apps, see the information on apps security.

To create standalone applications, externalize the app.
