Apps are applications that allow you to add additional features to BoondManager. Installing these Apps is done from the Marketplace: a page containing the list of all applications available on BoondManager.


Install an application

Prerequisites

To install an application, you must have an Administrator account.

Go to the marketplace

Administration > Apps / Marketplace > Marketplace tab

From this page, you will see the list of applications available on BoondManager:

By clicking on an application, you will access the following details:

  1. General information about the application: title, category, website

  2. Application description

  3. Application rate (free for most)

  4. Application installation

  5. Information about the publisher

Install an application

To install the application, simply go to the app page and click the Install button (4).

A pop-up will then appear:

This message asks you to:

  • Enter the installation code (only when Boond is not the publisher of the Apps). For most Apps, no code is required.

  • Confirm that you authorize the application to view/modify your BoondManager data (the application will only modify the data you request it to modify).

Once you click Authorize, the application will be installed in your space and you will now see the following icons:

  2. Configure resource access to the application to choose which people will be able to use/access this application and set possible functions

  • Configure possible functions

If the application you want to configure appears in this list, click it to be redirected to the documentation explaining its specific configuration:

If this is not the case, it means that:

  • This application does not require configuration

  • The application configuration is limited to choosing which users you want to install the app for by default.

Authorize resources to access the application

  1. Application visibility:

    • Accessible only to authorized managers: you must activate the App for the managers of your choice directly in the Managers/Roles module > Enabled Apps at the bottom of the page, then check at the end of the corresponding row

    • Accessible to all managers: all your employees with a Manager account can use the App

    • Accessible only to authorized managers and all resources: all your resources can use the App, as well as the authorized managers as explained above

    • Accessible to all managers & resources: all your employees can use the App

  2. App activation for manager account(s): if necessary, a message informs you that the installed application needs to be activated for each manager account. To do this, go to Managers / Roles and in the Apps section activate the application.
