Common Application Operations

You can also make changes from within the application:

Theme colors can be customized in the Organization Admin Console, with up to 18 options displayed.

1.1 Icon​

You can choose from built-in icons or upload a custom icon.

2. Edit Application Description​

Add or update an application description to help new members quickly understand and use the application.

Initial edit:

3. Duplicate Application​

Duplicating an application copies only its configuration—not the worksheet data.

If worksheets in the application are linked to worksheets in other applications, those relationships will not be copied.

4. Delete or Leave an Application​

Only the application owner can delete an application. Other admins or members can only leave the application.

If the owner wants to leave the application, they must first transfer ownership.

5. Reorder Applications​

Within an application group, you can drag and drop applications to reorder them.
This order only affects your personal view.

6. Adjust Application Groups​

If you assign an application to a personal group, it only affects your view.
If assigned to an organization group, it applies to all members in the organization (who have joined the application).

7. Publish Application​

In the publishing settings, you can choose which platforms the application is available on and publish it to third-party platforms (e.g., WeCom, DingTalk).

8. Application Maintenance​

When making changes to an application, you can temporarily suspend access to prevent data inconsistencies during updates or testing.

Set the application to maintenance mode, and other users will not be able to access it.

9. Backup and Restore​

You can back up the current structure and configuration of an application and restore it using backup files.

10. Option Sets​

Single-select and multi-select fields require predefined options. When multiple worksheets need the same options, using an option template can reduce repetitive configuration. Option sets are managed at the application level.
