Lightning app branding and navigation
Key Takeaway
Each group of users can get its own Lightning app, with its own branding (color and logo), its own navigation items, and optional tools like a utility bar.
A Lightning app is a collection of objects, tabs, and other items that work together for one purpose. Users reach these items from a navigation bar at the top of the page in Lightning Experience. App builders create and edit Lightning apps in the App Manager.
How to plan apps for each user group
Users switch between apps with the App Launcher, so each group can have a focused app and still reach other items.
For example, a finance app could include all the tabs the finance department needs for common tasks.
A good way to plan apps is to follow these steps:
- Ask each user group about its priorities.
- Build a master list of objects.
- Trim the master list for each group.
- Put high-priority items at the top and low-priority items at the bottom. You can also remove low-priority items, because users can still reach less-used items from the App Launcher.
