is there a way to batch apps in one folder on the side panel? So that I dont have as many apps on the side. Would be cool to create categories of apps with a drop down you can open and close
Currently, you cannot batch apps into folders on the sidebar.
However, this is an open feature request we’ve received and I’ve added your +1 ![]()
We would really like this too, as we have hundreds of apps on the left hand side
Thanks for the feedback! What groups would you form on the sidebar if you had this feature?
I’ll also boost this feedback myself, I left this same feedback in Slack at the end of February:
"Any possibility of creating a “roll up” view of the dashboard menu where we can group apps under a category/header?
Our use case - we provide account and tax services. Some embedded elements relate to one category or the other and for some of our clients the left menu can get pretty long at a glance and start to look a bit disorganized. Would love to be able to create my own category headers and then be able to nest the family of apps related to that category (e.g. “Bookkeeping”) under separate topical carrot menu drop downs so they’re better “organized” from the client facing perspective"
I see this feature becoming a pretty significant necessity in the near future for us!
This would be great.
I’d like it kept simple though so we can just add a menu item and then nest whatever we want underneath it - for example we use a forms system not directly supported so we would make embeds which would fine then group and order them under a menu item we have created ourselves.
Is there any news on this?
We would LOVE (and need) to be able to have an app icon on the left hand-side like “SEO” and then a client can see all their SEO apps under it
We have some clients with many services and without any foldering/nesting this becomes too hard ot manage.
Does anyone have a work-around in the mean time?
Thank you for following up on this! We’ve heard this feedback from many of our users and do have plans to address it on our roadmap in the future. While I don’t have an exact timeline on implementation, I’ve made sure to include this context for our product team so that we can appropriately prioritize. We will be sure to let you know once this is shipped!
Re-adding my affirmative to this feature request, same feedback as everyone else - our sidebar gets easily overloaded, would love to be able to nest by category/subject header!
Hi @Kyle_Pearson Thank you for the feedback! I’ve sent your request as a plus one for this feature request! Thanks! ![]()
Weekly our management and marketing team ask us about having folders or some sort of nesting in the portal.
We have clients who are struggling to use the portal now due to the amount of apps/services/reports they have.
We would want to nest with different categories like
SEO
- SEO Report
- SEO Roadmap
- X
- Y
- Z
We’re in a position now when we’re actually limiting ourselves what we can add to our portal for customers
HI @AYKO_Support! Thanks for reaching back out! I’m sorry to hear that not being able to nest apps has put you in a position where you feel limited. I’ve gone ahead and shared this feedback with our product team so they’re aware of how important this is. While I can’t guarantee a timeline for implementation, please know that it’s on our radar and I’ll be sure to keep you updated if anything changes. Thanks! ![]()
I have to agree with you here.
I feel really tied by what I can add because it could so easily become a mess.
We are on an annual plan - hope this is available by renewal or to be honest I think I will start looking for another option a couple of months before.
Hi @John_Bloomfield – thank you so much for your candor here. It’s feedback like this that helps us prioritize updates with real impact. We hear you on the importance of this feature and are planning on addressing this soon. I don’t have a specific date to give you at this time, but we have this slated for the end of Q4. I’ve added you as an individual requestor for this feature so that we can be sure to reach out once it’s ready for you to get your hands on and test yourself.
Thank you again and please don’t hesitate to reach out with additional feedback or questions. We want to help you be as successful as possible ![]()
We would really love this or may have to look elsewhere, we need to be able to folder/group apps
Excited to let you & others know that this project is in-progress and in the final stages. This should go out by mid February latest!
Hi Marlon
Many thanks for the update, is this still set to come out soon?
Yes, beta access planned for Wednesday!
The day has come, this feature is out in beta. It looks like this: https://x.com/lachynicolson/status/2023882074701365578
If you’re in Launchpad, our beta group, you can click on ‘App Library’ in the left sidebar and set up your folders. If you’re not in our beta program, make sure you’re in a paid plan and send a message to support@assembly.com and we can get you added today! Alternatively, if you wait until mid March, this feature will roll out to GA for everyone (along with many other new things)
