My Apps
A personal area on the SharePoint intranet where users can collect and organize files, apps, and content they want to keep at hand.
What is My Apps
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.
