Why it's useful​

In the morning, Léa opens VaultysHub and clicks on her favorites: messaging, CRM, ticket tool. For the 'Mobile Deposit' page of GitLab, she goes directly through a launcher.

The dashboard brings together all the applications that your organization has opened for you. Well organized, it replaces your bookmarks.

Your turn​

  1. Open an application. In the Popular tab, click on a tile. The application opens in a new tab. → Open an application
  2. Search. Type a few letters in the search bar. The list filters as you type. → Search for an application
  3. Add favorites. Hover over an application, in the grid or in the search results, then click on the star. Check that it appears in the Favorites tab. → Favorites tab
  4. Adjust the display with the View button: small, medium, or large icons. Your choice is saved. → Icon size
  5. Try a launcher. A launcher is a shortcut to a specific page of an application. Find a tile with a badge at the bottom right and click on it. The first entry in the menu opens the main page, the following ones open the launchers. You can also favorite a launcher. → Application launchers
