Customize Available Applications in the App Dropdown Menu

Updated on

An “app” is a group of tabs that works as a unit to provide application functionality. Salesforce provides standard apps such as Sales and Call Center. You can customize the standard apps to match the way you work.

You can also build your own on-demand apps by grouping standard and custom tabs into new custom apps. A custom app consists of a label, a description, and an ordered list of tabs. You can also set custom logos for your custom apps. With custom apps, you can extend the kinds of information that you manage and share online beyond CRM.

Apps are associated with profiles. Profiles control which tabs you can see or hide, as well as which apps are available to you. You can personalize the tabs in your apps as much as your profile allows.
