If you're new to custom apps, we recommend using Lightning Platform quick start to create an app. With this tool, you can generate a basic working app in just one step.
If you’ve already created the objects, tabs, and fields you need for your app, follow these steps. With this option, you create an app label and logo, add items to the app, and assign the app to profiles.
- From Setup, enter Apps in the Quick Find box, then select Apps.
- Click New.
- If the Salesforce console is available, select whether you want to define a custom app or a Salesforce console.
-
Give the app a name and description.
An app name can have a maximum of 40 characters, including spaces.
- Optionally, brand your app by giving it a custom logo.
- Select which items to include in the app.
-
Optionally, set the default landing tab for your new app using the Default Landing
Tab dropdown menu below the list of selected tabs.
This determines the first tab a user sees when logging into this app.
- Choose which profiles the app will be visible to.
-
Select the Default box to set the app as that profile’s
default app, meaning that new users with the profile see this app the first time they
log in.
Profiles with limits are excluded from this list.
- Click Save.
