Customizing the Your Apps Menu
AVAILABLE TO: Administrators and Employees
If you are a member of the Administrators or Employees group, you have the ability to customize the Your Apps menu commands that appear in the left navigation pane of your user feed. In addition, a number of the commands that are available in the Your Apps menu are also available in the left navigation area of the group, tag, and topic feeds in Pulse.
In order to view the Your Apps menu, you must be logged into Pulse from either the Pulse dashboard or the Flare output. In the Flare output, you can access the Your Apps menu by selecting the Community tab. In the Pulse dashboard, select the Pulse > Home menu command to view the Your Apps menu in your user feed. You can also navigate to different group, tag, and topic feeds and use the commands that are available in the left navigation pane.
The table below details the apps that are available in the Your Apps menu on your user feed (or in the left navigation pane of the group, tag, or topic feeds in Pulse). An asterisk (*) by the App Name denotes that an app is available by default on the Your Apps menu of your user feed.
