Player How to: Create a new App Template

An app template contains the settings associated with an app that is added to a team's view. An app template can be created for common apps that are then added to a view. Default settings that are part of the app template can be overridden by a view admin if needed. An app template can be used by any view admin when adding apps to a particular view. Think of app templates as helpers for configuring common Crucible apps.

Follow the procedures below to create a new app template in Player. These instructions assume that you have been given the appropriate permissions in Player to create a view.

If you have not already done so, in the dropdown next to your username, select View Administration.

  1. Enable Embeddable if desired. Ebeddable is a true/false attribute that tells Player whether or not the app is supported by iFrames. The Mattermost chat, for example, is not embeddable and must be opened in a separate browser tab.
  2. Enable Load in background if desired. Load in background is a true/false attribute that tells Player to load the app in a hidden iFrame when Player loads. This is important for some apps that may require some initialization.
