Configure app

You can create and configure your own apps in the Portal 7 report under Navigation. You can then open these in the Portal via the app drawer and the navigation bar.

In an app, you can configure both the navigation and the homepage itself. You can create the following components of your own app under the navigation entry:

• Dashboard: Views in which specific data is evaluated and displayed.

• Navigation entry: Entry in the navigation bar in the Portal via which a specific object or view can be opened.

• Navigation group: Entry in the navigation bar that is used to group other entries in the navigation. You can create additional apps within a navigation group. These apps within an app have their own homepage and content, but no navigation.

• Subheading: Heading in the navigation bar that serves for better orientation and for grouping further elements in the navigation.

You can configure the following components for the app homepage:

• Quickstart boxes: Tiles that offer the most important actions on the App homepage.

• Diagram boxes: Drawings, dashboard graphics and column charts that are displayed on the app homepage.

• Report box: Report components that evaluate and display content.
