WalkMe Discovery: Custom Apps

Last Updated July 17, 2024

Brief Overview

The definition of an app is subjective - what may be an app for one organization may not be an app for another. In order to accommodate custom preferences for app definitions we introduced the ability to create custom apps. Essentially, you can now split an app into several by defining a URL rule or set of URL rules.

Use Cases

Separate app environments
- Prod vs Test vs UAT vs Dev…
- Different modules/workspaces/sub-apps
  - Example:
    - Original App: *.service-now.com/*
    - New apps:
      - *.service-now.com/now/sow/*
      - *.service-now.com/now/platform-analytics-workspace/*
      - *.service-now.com/now/vr/*
- Different regions
  - Example
    - Original App: *.amazonaws.com/*
    - New apps:
      - s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/*
      - s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/*
      - s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/*

How It Works

Create new apps from the Edit App view - hover over an app, click the three dots, and select Edit App

In the app creation popup:
- View list of the domains/subdomains visited (sorted by most visited to least)
- Domains/subdomains can be selected and edited
- Domains/subdomains can be duplicated to create another rule with the same domain/subdomain
- The rules used to create apps are excluded from the original app's data collection moving forward

To make any edits or reverse any app creation, please Contact WalkMe via the button in the side panel.
