Apps Menu

If you have not customised the apps.jsp file for your connections environment, please make a copy of the file.
- You can access the file from:
```
<WAS_home>/profiles/<profile_name>/installedApps/<cell_name>/Homepage.ear/homepage.war/nav/templates/menu
```
- Paste the copy into the common\nav\templates subdirectory in the customization directory:
```
<installdir>\data\shared\customization\common\nav\templates\menu\apps.jsp
```

To add the Huddo Boards App Link add the following lines towards the bottom of the apps.jsp file before the </table> element
