Group/customise applications in application selection dropdown

Hi,

Is there a way to group the applications that have been installed, such that its multi-level ? Similar to how dashboard navigation works with collections (in the default.xml).

When I click on the list of Applications, it shows all 100 applications that we have installed - I was hoping to be able to group them by a category:

Support Apps -> Support App 1
Support App 2
Support App 3
etc..
Manager Apps-> manager App1
....
DevOps Apps -> DevOps App1
...

Sure there will still be the 100 apps, but if we have 10 categories with 10 apps per category, then the main application menu will only show the 10 categories, and when moving the mouse over that app it will expand. Just means the menu will be less cluttered and more organised.

regards

Hi @bdunstan,

by default this isn't possible (sorry!).

You could propose this as a next version feature (https://ideas.splunk.com/).

In the meantime, if you like, you could create a dashboard having your own app view, only for viewing.

Ciao.
