Find existing apps in Creator Studio

Perhaps you’ve been given permission to work on an app someone else created, or you want to add new items to the catalog in your app. The Creator Studio home page acts as your central hub, listing all the apps people in your company have built using Creator Studio.

Before you begin

Summary:

In this topic, you’ll learn how to:

• Find an app in Creator Studio.
• Open an existing app.
• Perform actions on an app without opening it.

Get permission

To work on an app, your system administrator has to assign you the role of sn_creatorstudio.user or sn_creatorstudio.restricted_user.

About this task

Techy detail:

All the apps listed on the Creator Studio home page have an entry in the Request App Config table (sn_creatorstudio_request_app_config).

Find the app you want to work on

There could be a lot of apps listed on the Creator Studio home page. Here’s how to find the one you want to work on.

Procedure

1. Go to All > App Engine > Creator Studio.
   The Creator Studio home page appears, which displays the apps most recently created by everyone in your company using Creator Studio.

   

2. Optional: Would you prefer to see the apps in a list instead of displayed as cards? Select the view icon () and switch to List View.
   
3. Optional: Narrow down the list of apps displayed by selecting one of the following:
   • All apps: Displays all the apps everyone in your company created using Creator Studio.
   • Your apps: Displays only the apps that you created. (You own the apps that you create.)
   • Shared with you: Displays only the apps you didn’t create, but the owner said you could work on.

     For more information about working collaboratively on an app, see Delegated development and deployment.

4. Optional: Sort the list of displayed apps by selecting the drop-down sorting menu and then selecting one of the following:
   Tip:

   • Last accessed: Lists the displayed apps based on the last time you worked on them; the most recently accessed app appears first in the list.
   • Newest: Lists the apps in the order of their creation date, newest to oldest.
   • Oldest: Lists the apps in the order of their creation date, oldest to newest.
   • A-Z or Z-A: Lists the displayed apps alphabetically in the order you choose.
5. Optional: 5. Select an app to open it in Creator Studio or select the more actions icon () and select one of the following:
   • Open in new tab: Open the app in a different browser tab.
   • Manage collaborators: If you’re the app owner, you can invite others to work on the app with you. For more information, see Manage collaborators for an app in Creator Studio.
   • Copy link: Send collaborators a link to the app so they can find it.
   • Settings: Update the app’s image and other settings. For more information, see Edit an app's settings in Creator Studio.
6. Optional: Select Request access to open an app that you don’t have permission to work on.
   To open an app, you must own it, or the owner must give you permission. For more information about requesting access, see Ask to work on an app in Creator Studio.
