Use this walkthrough to set up navigation for your Simpplr app. To configure the settings described below, from your user profile image, go to Manage > Apps & links.
Single Sign-on
The Apps launcher (found in the header navigation) offers quick access to your Single Sign-on apps including with Okta or OneLogin.
If you're using Okta or OneLogin, be sure to enter your integration credentials in Manage > Application > Integrations.
Custom JSON:
If you're not using Okta or OneLogin, you can select Custom JSON to add your company's most frequently used apps.
Use the JSON format below as the template. Simply change the name, URL, and image URL (the app logo URL) to the business applications that you want to display in the Apps launcher, then enter the code in the Custom JSON field.
# Custom JSON template

Custom links
Within the Apps launcher, you can also add external or internal links in the Links tab. Enter the URL label (app name) and URL, click Add, then click Save at the bottom of the page.
User-configured links
App managers an choose to allow users to customize their own Apps & links modal. This way, users can personalize their view by adding and organizing what’s important to them. Users can favorite links for easy access
Creating a custom link on the Links > Custom links tab
With the above option enabled, users can add their own custom links. There is new tab added as Custom links on the apps launchpad. Once created by providing a unique 'Label' and 'URL', the new link gets added to the Custom links tab. These links will open in a new tab when clicked.
Recommended icon size
The recommended image size for the icons is 220x80 px, with a maximum file size of 100KB. JPG and PNG files supported. To ensure the logo appears at an optimal and readable size, we suggest minimizing or removing any extra whitespace around the actual logo within that image.
Comments
Question on this Matthew Rawls,
On the AWS platform, how is it possible to generate a public link to a file that could be used in the apps & links area. On the previous SFDC version it was necessary to add a file to the Salesforce backend and then make the URL public and add it as the image URL for the apps & links. I found this article that walked you through using the browser inspector element to get the downloadable URL and added that to the apps & links section (which worked expertly BTW).
But I wanted to see how one could generate a public URL to a file when this feature (see image below) is turned on and whether or not it is possible to use such a public link in the apps & links portion of Simpplr.![]()
Good news.
The article that is at this link still works in the AWS environment.
