Use ‘Sections’ to Create Custom App Groups

You can group and re-order your app by creating custom sections. Group them by theme, or create a manual group of your most frequently used apps.

Creating and Managing sections (click to expand)

• All applications start off in the ‘Work’ section by default [1]. Click on ‘Add Section +’ in the left-hand nav menu [2] to create a new one:

  

• Note: You can also use the “+ Add section” shortcut underneath your app display [3] to create a new section:

  

• Give the new section a name that’s meaningful to you. You might like to group by theme (e.g. ‘Classroom’, ‘Research’, ‘Admin’, ‘Finance’ etc.), or perhaps around use (e.g. ‘My most frequent’):

  

• Drag and drop your apps to add and re-order apps in your new section:

  

• Note: You can have up to 5 custom sections, and can only delete a section once it is empty. Drag and drop apps out of the section you wish to remove to clear it first.

• You can re-order sections by dragging and dropping to reposition them from the left nav menu:
