<\/u1:p>MyBUworks<\/strong> launchpad is a shell that hosts BUworks apps, and provides the apps with services such as navigation, personalization, embedded support, and application configuration.<\/p>\n

MyBUworks<\/strong> launchpad is the entry point to BUworks apps on mobile and desktop devices. The launchpad displays a home page with tiles, which can display live status indicators, such as the number of open tasks. Each tile represents a business application that the user can launch. The launchpad is role-based, displaying tiles according to the user\u2019s role. <\/u1:p><\/p>\n

Key Features<\/h1>\n
    \n
  • Layout Personalization<\/strong>, The tiles on the home page are arranged in groups. The user can personalize the layout of the home page, by grouping, moving, and removing tiles. The user can also add, delete, rename, and reorder groups. To add tiles to groups, the launchpad provides a tile catalog, which displays all the tiles that are available to a user. You will notice a pencil in the lower right hand corner. The pencil is used to personalize your homepage.<\/li>\n
  • Responsive Design<\/strong>, The visual design of the launchpad adapts automatically to the device screen size and shows only tiles of apps that are supported on the current device. In addition, tiles have varying degrees of opacity according to the user’s use of the apps; frequently-used apps visually stand out in comparison to less frequently-used apps, which are more transparent.<\/li>\n
  • Search Capabilities<\/strong>, The launchpad provides search capabilities, including support to search in the tile catalog.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
