Hiding the Apps from "Involv My Apps" in the navigation bar

🔑 Configuring the Involv Navigation Apps Key

This setup must be performed by a SharePoint Administrator to enable or manage the top-level "Apps" navigation experience within Involv. It allows admins to link the navigation to the shared apps list, assign display icons, and control visibility settings.

🧭 Default Navigation Key Configuration

To disable the top-level navigation link for My Apps, set the configuration key:

{"enableApps": false}

To enable the default Involv Navigation Apps key, use:

{
  "enableApps": true,
  "icon": "AppIconDefault",
  "label": "Apps",
  "appList": "InvolvApps",
  "enableUrl": false,
  "url": "",
  "myAppsList": "InvolvMyApps"
}

⚙️ Available Configuration Options

Key Description
enableApps Boolean value to activate the top-level navigation item. Use true to show apps, false to hide.
label Display name of the navigation tab (e.g., "Apps").
icon Material icon identifier for the navigation label. Default: AppIconDefault.
appList Internal name of the SharePoint list on the root site where shared apps are stored (typically InvolvApps).
enableUrl If true, bypass appList and use the url field to fetch app data from a different source.
url Optional: URL to a custom list if enableUrl is true. Leave empty otherwise.
myAppsList Internal name of the SharePoint list containing each user’s personal app entries (typically InvolvMyApps).
