Sweet app launcher custom tiles now available in Office 365
Really nice this, long awaited…
”
Add shortcuts straight to your external website, to your portal, your teamsite of choice or project-web portal, now all in the Office 365 admin GUI, no hazzle.
Follow these simple steps:
1. Go to the Office 365 admin portal (https://portal.office.com/admin/default.aspx)
2. In the top left corner, click on your organization name link.
3. Next, select option no.3 – Custom tiles.
4. Click on the rather large plus sign to create a custom tile. Add a Name, URL, Description and a image URL (Pre-uploaded to a SharePoint asset lib?)
5. Repeat until you have your tiles.
6. Allow some delay for timer jobs to run, things to happen in the background, this may take a while.
7. Go to your App launcher, My Apps.
8. Your custom tiles will be located at the bottom of the list.
9. Click on the ‘dots’ and select ‘Pin to launcher’ – this will make them show up in your personal App Launcher.
10. Viola!
Pretty good huh?
