=== Customize an Application ===
To customize an application:
# Select it from the dropdown list of applications that appears next to your login name at the top of the page.
#:The application begins running.
# Use entries in the [[Gear menu]] to make changes.
#:The entries available to you depend on your privileges.
#:Any changes you make are immediately effective in the application.


===Default View Preferences===
===Delete an Application===
Based on the user's Role, you can specify which [[Views]] are used for a given object, by default, as well as the application home page.  
To delete an application:
# Go to '''[[File:GearIcon.png]] > Administration > Applications'''
# Click on the application you intend to delete.
#: The application settings page appears.
# Click '''[Delete]'''


To make use of this feature, you must have defined one or more Views to use. Note, too, that these are ''default'' settings. Users can also define their own views to display the information they have access to.
===Programmatic Adjustments===
Although it is unlikely that you will ever need it, the REST [[REST API:application Resource|application]] API can also be used to modify application settings.
