            Create Lightning Apps

            As in Salesforce Classic, you can create apps in Lightning Experience, but with even more bells and whistles. You can brand and customize Lightning apps to help your users work more efficiently. For example, you can create a Lightning app for your finance department that includes all important items, including tabs, for users to complete common tasks. You can customize the navigation bar color, brand it with a logo, and make the app available in the App Launcher for the user profiles associated with the finance department.

            Required Editions

            Available in: Lightning Experience
            Available in: Contact Manager, Group, Professional, Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions
            User Permissions Needed
            To view apps: View Setup and Configuration
            To manage apps: Modify All Data
            1. From the Home tab in Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter App, and then select App Manager.
            2. To use an existing custom app as the basis for a new custom app, find the source app in the list, select Clone from its action menu, and then go through the Lightning app creation wizard.
              This feature is only available for custom Lightning apps. It isn’t available for standard, connected, managed, community, or classic apps.
            3. To create an app from scratch, click New Lightning App, and walk through the New Lightning App wizard.
              Here are some things you can do in the wizard.
              • Give your app a name, set its primary color, and give it a logo. The app description displays alongside the icon in the App Launcher. Make sure that the description is meaningful to your users.
              • Choose whether to override a custom theme’s brand image and navigation bar color with the brand image and color from the app.
              • Choose which type of navigation to use—standard or console.
              • Choose which form factors your app is available for.
              • Add a utility bar for common processes and tools, like Recent Items, Notes, Dialer, and Open CTI.
              • Customize which items appear in the app’s navigation bar.
              • Assign the app to user profiles.
              Note
              Note If you add more than 50 default navigation items to an app, your users can’t personalize the app’s navigation bar.

              When organizing the navigation bar, the item at the top of the list becomes your app’s landing page on desktop and mobile.

              The order of items in the navigation bar also determines the default objects shown in the Top Results page on the search results page. After the user interacts with the app for 15 days, Top Results reflects the user’s most frequently used objects. If the user doesn’t have access or permissions to the app, Top Results includes the Account, Contact, Opportunity, Case, Lead, People (User), and Group objects until the user’s most frequently used objects are determined.
