Once you’ve created your App Categories, you can assign one or more category(s) to an application by opening the application in edit mode, navigating to the ‘Settings’ section, and selecting the desired categories. The application will then display in the assigned categories on the Apps Dashboard.
Favorites
Once enabled, the Dashboard Sidenav feature will display your defined custom App Categories and the permanent ‘All Apps’ pseudo-category. It will also display the permanent ‘Favorites’ category. App Designers can not add an app to your Favorites, each user manages their own personal favorites list. To add a specific app to your personal favorites list, simply click on the empty gold start that appears when you hover over an app’s card/row on the Apps Dashboard (like IT Service Desk in the screenshot below). Once you click on it, the gold start will become solid gold in color (like IT Procurement in the screenshot below). To remove the app from your favorites, simply click on the solid gold star and it will become hollow again and be removed from your favorites.
