App Sharing plans

Are there any plans to move the shared applications to a menu rather than displaying them when a user logs in? We have one group that wants us to enable ‘app sharing’ but for the rest of the 95% of our users, the changes to the dashboard when we do this look bad and, mostly, empty.

We want to unify the launch interface, and one approach could be continue to use the dropdown menus. The problem is that the number of shared apps can grow larger than a dropdown menu can handle. So I’m not sure yet how the main launch interface should be modified to support both types of apps.

There is, however, an interim solution that might work okay: https://github.com/OSC/ood-dashboard/issues/475

I’ll mark this as a feature request.
