Company Apps

SharePoint Company Apps: why your business needs them

Quick access to company apps in the intranet.

Our component brings together in a single space within the intranet the apps and content recommended by the company to help users carry out their daily tasks.

What Company Apps offers

  • Quick access to apps and resources โ€” Our feature provides users with an area featuring quick links to apps and useful content right from the SharePoint intranet homepage.
  • User permissions โ€” If your company has specific business apps for different departments, it can decide which users can access these applications with specific permissions.
  • Indexed links โ€” The content inserted in our feature is indexed in Advanced Search, allowing users to find it through free-text searches or customized filters.

Targeted access

Editor users can decide who has access to the links within our feature. They can assign links to specific target groups based on user properties such as department or location.

Independent link management by Editor users

Our team will show you how to manage links, audiences, and category tags independently. Editor users can independently manage the addition, targeting, and categorization of links to the company apps.

They can also customize the web part with icons offered by SharePoint or custom images in line with the corporate brand. Users can save their most useful links for their tasks as Favorites, ensuring quick and easy access at all times.

Organize apps into searchable categories

The Company Apps web part groups internal SharePoint links and external URLs into a single space on your intranet. Each category generates its own tab automatically, and a built-in search bar helps users locate the right app within large collections. Because every app is indexed in Advanced Search, employees can also find these links through free-text queries or filters elsewhere in the intranet, improving discoverability across the workplace.

Personal Apps and flexible display modes

A dedicated Personal Apps section lets each user save favorite internal and external links for instant access, with favorites tracked through a dedicated SharePoint list. Editors can present apps as square tiles with icons and titles or as a collapsible list view, and configure whether links open in the current tab or a new window. Tab order, section expansion states, and Personal Apps positioning are all adjustable to suit how your teams work.

Frequently asked questions

Can the Company Apps web part display both internal SharePoint links and external URLs?

Yes. The Company Apps web part supports both internal SharePoint links and external URLs. When creating an app, the link field is optional and can point to either destination, so you can surface line-of-business tools, external portals, and SharePoint resources together in one organized space.

How are apps organized and made searchable for users?

Apps are grouped by category, and a separate tab is created automatically for each category. A built-in search bar helps users locate apps within large collections, and every app is indexed in Advanced Search, so employees can also find them through free-text searches or filters across the intranet.

Can users save their own favorite apps?

Yes. A dedicated Personal Apps section lets each user save favorite internal and external links for quick access. Favorites are tracked through a dedicated SharePoint list, and editors can configure whether the Personal Apps tab appears at the beginning or end of the web part.

What icons can be used, and how are access permissions managed?

Editors can choose icons from the Fluent UI icon library or upload custom images via SharePoint URLs to match the corporate brand. Read access to individual apps can be assigned to specific people, so departments only see the applications relevant to them.
