Overview
Use the Application menu to create a custom menu of PowerSchool and third-party apps for each user persona. You can show, hide, or reorder PowerSchool apps and preview both the Application menu and the legacy AppSwitcher.
PowerSchool offers two ways to provide access to apps and resources, Resource links and the Application menu. Use each depending on how often your users need access and the type of content they are accessing.
Resource links are best for quick, occasional access, such as:
-
Links used one or two times a year.
-
PowerSchool SIS links or non-authenticated third-party apps, such as a district calendar, SAT signup, and report cards.
The Application menu is best for ongoing access, such as:
-
High-traffic links or applications used year-round across grades and locations, such as Schoology, the district website, Google Classroom, Pay School Central, and FinalForms.
-
Continual usage by individual users.
