My Apps is a personal area where only you can collect and organize links, file, apps, and content you want to keep at hand. Thanks to this feature, which brings together all your favorite business apps, you can make the intranet a tool tailored to your work.
Another important aspect is that you can classify links to personal business apps, making them easier to find in the SharePoint intranet and saving you time in searches. In addition, you can choose from over 100 icons to customize your dashboard.

As mentioned above, the My Apps web part relies on a list named User apps list, which requires a specific configuration so that intranet visitors can add their personal links. To learn how to configure this list, read the dedicated guide. In particular, please refer to the First type of configuration section.
Click the Edit button on the left of the web part to open the property pane and set options such as List settings and View options. See below for more information on each of these options.
