Enabling and disabling apps
Section titled “Enabling and disabling apps”- Click on the app card you want to configure.
- A dialog opens with an Overview tab describing the app.
- Click the activation button to enable the app. A green checkmark appears on the card.
- To configure an active app, click its card to open the dialog — different apps show different tabs (Settings, Templates, etc.).
- To deactivate, open the dialog and use the deactivation option in the app settings.
Setup apps (Company, Tasks, Clients, Mini Uku) do not have an activation toggle — they are always available.
Multi-company accounts
Section titled “Multi-company accounts”If you are a member of multiple companies, a tab switcher appears below the page header. Each tab shows one company. Settings and app activations are independent per company — enabling an app for one company does not enable it for another.
