The `Apps` page is your team's launcher for handy tools — "Utility tools and applications for your team." It's a launchpad, **not an app store**: nothing to download or install. You open a tool and it launches. This guide covers the built-in apps, making a branded short link, and adding your own custom app.

## Built-in apps

Every account comes with a few tools ready to go under `Built-in Apps`:

- `Link Shortener` — create branded short links. Available to Managers and above.
- `Brittco Scheduling` — "Access Brittco scheduling system with automatic sign-in." It logs you in for you.
- `Client Intake` — available on the COD host only.

## Create a branded short link

The `Link Shortener` turns a long, ugly URL into a tidy `/l/{slug}` link you can share or print. Open it at the links page and add one:

1. Give it a `Title` so you recognize it later.
2. Set the `Short URL` — the slug that becomes `/l/your-slug`.
3. Paste the `Destination URL` it should point to.
4. Add a `Description` if it helps your team.
5. Set an `Expiration Date` if the link should stop working after a date.
6. Save, then use copy-to-clipboard to grab it.

Each link tracks its **click count**, so you can see what's getting used. You can flip a link between `Active` and `Inactive`, or delete it when it's done.

## Add a custom app

Only a **Super Admin** can add custom apps. Under `Custom Apps`, click `Add App` and fill in:

1. A `Name`.
2. The `URL` the app opens.
3. A `Description`.
4. A `Color` for its tile.
5. Whether to `Open in new tab`.

Once it's added, you can toggle it Hide/Show, `Edit` its details, or `Delete` it. This is how you put your own frequently used links and tools right alongside the built-in ones, so your team has one place to launch from.

> A custom app is just a shortcut to a web address — a smart way to give everyone one-click access to a portal or tool you already use. If you're not a Super Admin, ask one to add it for the whole team.
