Basic Config

The 'Basic Config' section in AppStudio is used to establish an App's basic reference information and to specify its icon.

• Title - (max 80 chars):  What name will you give your app? This is the label for the App that the users will see in the list of Apps in the springboard menu and also in the header bar.
• Identifier:  What is the unique App Identifier? This cannot contain spaces and must be at least three characters. You will need to set this when you create an app. It will appear in the URLs when navigating through that App, and it cannot be altered once set.
• Description - (max 2000 chars):  What is the brief description for your app, this lets users know what it does?
• Record Type Name - (max 60 chars):  What will records be called or how will they be referred to?  For example, for a Risk Register app, individual records will be called 'Risk'?
• Record Type Name (Plural) - (max 60 chars):  What is the plural of the Record Type Name? e.g. 'Risks'.
• Icon: In this section, the user will have the opportunity to select a desired icon for the app, which will then be visible when seeing all the available apps. For further information visit: Icon – Softools

Adding an Icon

To add or change an icon, scroll down to the ‘Icon’ Template.

This template allows two different ways of setting up an App’s icon - Choose Icon and Upload New. Choose Icon should be used if you would like to select an icon which has been saved or has been previously used. Upload New should be used if you would like to select a new icon.

If the icon is too large, you will see an error message. This means you need to crop the image to make it the right size for an app icon. Click on the crop button here to open a pop-up where you can crop and adjust the image.

Make sure to click the 'Save' button when making any changes and then publish them to be able to see them in Workspace.
