Using the Application Switcher

Administrative users who set up customer tenants determine which applications are visible in each tenant. In addition, the Platform interface is highly customizable, allowing you to replace the Platform logo and use your own CSS styles.

The Application Switcher is available as a drop-down menu next to the application name as depicted below:

When new users install Platform Private Cloud, the interface appears identical to the Infinite Blue-hosted Platform interface.

Note: If your Platform environment is highly customized, the interface might differ slightly from the screens shown in this documentation..

The application switcher allows you to navigate to installed applications and to setup pages.

Application switcher items include:

  • App Settings — A shortcut to the setup page for the currently open application.
  • App Preview — A shortcut to preview changes to various aspects of an application on the fly without disturbing any users.
  • Setup Home — A shortcut to the Setup home page, which provides access to administrative settings for users with administrative privileges and to preinstalled applications.
