From Jint Portal, you can centralize the applications used by your employees (business tools, HR, communication, etc.) and organize them into categories. These applications are then accessible from the Unified Experience and the My Applications component.

This article explains how to create categories, add and configure applications, and organize them from Jint Portal.

1. Where are applications displayed?

Applications configured in Jint Portal are visible in two places:

• In the Unified Experience, via the Applications button in the sidebar. The panel contains a search bar, the My favorite applications section, and applications organized by category. For more information, see the article New Unified Experience - Feature overview.
• In the My Applications component, which you can add to your SharePoint pages. For more information, see the My Applications component article.

2. Prerequisites

To configure applications, you must have access to Jint Portal with the appropriate administrative permissions. Roles are assigned from the Roles and permissions menu in Jint Portal.

3. Access application management

1. Sign in to Jint Portal.
2. In the left-hand menu, under Components, click Applications.

The Applications page has two tabs:

• Applications: list and configuration of applications
• Categories: list and configuration of application categories

💡 Create your categories first. You can then associate them with your applications when you create them.

4. Manage categories

Categories let you group your applications by topic (for example: Communication, HR, Tools). Each category can be displayed or hidden in the Unified Experience and targeted to an audience.

The Categories tab displays the list of existing categories, including the following for each category:

• its name
• the number of applications associated with it

4.1 Create a category

1. Click the Categories tab.
2. Click Create a category.
3. Enter the category information.
4. Confirm the creation.

4.2 Edit or delete a category

• To edit a category, click the pencil icon on the category's row.
• To delete a category, click the trash icon on the category's row.

5. Manage applications

The Applications tab displays the list of all applications, including the following for each application:

• its position in the list
• its icon
• its title
• its URL
• its categories
• its audience ("Everyone" when no audience is defined)

5.1 Add an application

1. Click the Applications tab.
2. Click Add an application. The Manage application panel opens on the right side of the screen.
3. Enter the application settings (see section 5.2).
4. Click Apply.

The application is added to the list.

5.2 Application settings

Title (required)
Name of the application as it will be displayed to your employees.

URL (required)
Address to which the user is redirected when they click the application.

Icon
Image displayed to represent the application. You have several options:

• enter an image URL in the Icon field
• click Use the site's favicon to automatically retrieve the icon of the site entered in the URL field
• click the image button on the right to provide your own image

A preview of the icon is displayed to the left of the buttons. If no icon is defined, the initial of the application name is displayed.

Categories
Select one or more categories from the list. To remove a category, click the X next to its name.

Open in a new tab
Enable this option to open the application in a new browser tab. When disabled, the application opens in the current tab.

Hide on mobile
Enable this option to hide the application when SharePoint web is displayed in a reduced format.

⚠️ This option only applies to SharePoint web displayed in a reduced format. It is not related to the Jint mobile application.

Modern audiences
Enable this option to make the application available to specific employees. Start typing the name of an audience in the search field, then select it from the list. Only members of the selected audiences will see the application.

If this option is disabled, the application is visible to everyone.

5.3 Edit or delete an application

• To edit an application, click the pencil icon on its row. The Manage application panel opens. Make your changes, then click Apply.
• To delete an application, click the trash icon on its row.

💡 To cancel your current changes in the panel, click Cancel.

5.4 Reorder applications

The number displayed to the left of each application indicates its position in the list. To change this position, you can:

• click the up and down arrows to move the application up or down one position
• drag and drop the application using the handle to the left of the number

The order defined here is the order in which applications are displayed to your employees.

5.5 Search for and import applications

• Use the Search bar to quickly find an application in the list.
• The Import button lets you add applications from a file.
