# Apps

Apps let you create shareable, public-facing views of your project data. Combine dashboards, forms, and wiki pages into a single app and share it with anyone using a public link.

## The apps list

The apps list shows all apps in your project. Use the **search bar** at the top to filter apps by name as you type.

Each app in the list has a three-dot options menu (**...**) with the following actions:

* **Share** - opens the app's public URL so you can copy and share it
* **Settings** - navigates to the app settings page
* **Delete** - permanently removes the app and its public link

## Create an app

1. Open the **Apps** module from the project sidebar.
2. Click the **Create App** button in the top-right toolbar.
3. Enter an **App Name** (3 to 64 characters).
4. Click **Create**.

Your new app opens in the app builder, ready for you to add pages.

## The app builder

The app builder shows the list of pages currently in your app. Each page links to a dashboard, form, or wiki page from your project.

### Add a page

Pages are added by pasting in the shared link of a dashboard, form, or wiki page from your project.

1. Open your app from the apps list.
2. Click **Add Page** in the top-right toolbar.
3. Paste the shared link for the content you want to add. The link should be in the format `app.informationhub.io/dashboard/...`, `app.informationhub.io/form/...`, or `app.informationhub.io/wiki/...`.
4. Click **Add**.

The page is added to your app and is immediately accessible through the app's public link.

{% hint style="info" %}
To get a shared link for a dashboard, open the dashboard and click the **Share** button. Do the same for forms and wiki pages that have sharing enabled.
{% endhint %}

### Reorder or remove pages

1. Click the **Edit** toggle in the toolbar to enter edit mode. The button changes to a filled style when edit mode is active.
2. Drag pages up or down using the **drag handle** on the left of each row to reorder them.
3. Click the **trash icon** on a page row to remove that page from the app.
4. Click **Edit** again to exit edit mode.

### Share your app

Click the **Share** button in the toolbar to open a popover showing your app's public link. Click the **copy icon** to copy the link to your clipboard, then send it to your audience.

Viewers do not need an Information Hub account to access a public app.

### Navigate to settings

Click the **Settings** button in the toolbar to go to the app settings page.

## App settings

The app settings page lets you change the app name, control who can access it, and delete the app.

1. Open the **Apps** module from the project sidebar.
2. Click **...** next to an app and select **Settings**, or click **Settings** inside the app builder.

### Name

Enter a new name for your app and click **Save** to apply the change.

### Visibility

The **Visibility** setting controls who can open the app:

| Option        | Who can access                            |
| ------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| **Private**   | Only project members with the link        |
| **Public**    | Anyone with the link - no login required  |
| **Protected** | Requires a password or project membership |

Change the visibility and click **Save**.

{% hint style="info" %}
Use **Public** when you want to share results with external stakeholders, publish open data, or create a simple data portal. Use **Protected** if you need to restrict access to invited users.
{% endhint %}

### Delete an app

At the bottom of the app settings page, click **Delete** in the **Delete App** section. This permanently removes the app and its public link. The underlying dashboards, forms, and wiki pages are not affected.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Deleting an app cannot be undone. Anyone with the public link will no longer be able to access it.
{% endhint %}
