The Question:

I just signed up for Apptivo and keep reading about this “App Dashboard”. What is the App dashboard, how do I access it, and how can I change the apps that appear in my home dashboard?

The Answer:

The App Dashboard is the list of applications which you have access to, available across the top of the screen after you log in.  By default, the list shows all applications available, and you can click one of the tabs across the top to filter the list by a specific app category.

Apptivo gives you the ability to customize your own CRM dashboard view, as per your requirements. That is, the list of applications can be customized for each and every user. Bring a super user (admin), you can change the apps that appear for you, and your other employees can view a different list of apps. This is useful since most of the employees only need to work with a few apps. And only business owners and managers will need to access many apps on a day-to-day basis. With this custom dashboard design, you can make the look and feel of your Apptivo Header bar.

You can also change the apps appearance through Preferences -> Customize Home.
