FieldDescription
Name Add a name to track your experience internally. The experience name is visible to users from the browser tab. For this example, it is MyApp.
App Shell UI You must choose an app shell for the experience to work. For example, you could choose a workspace or portal app shell. The app shell is the wrapper of the page contents, which is similar to the functionality of a web page. The app shell can show things like the logo of your company, user preferences, the search icon. For more information, see Define UI experiences using app shells.
URL path Add a path for your experience. The path appends to the end of the URL parameter of your experience. For example, if you used MyApp as the title for your experience, you could type my/app for the path.
Landing path The landing path is the prefix that people use to reach your experience homepage. To designate a page as the homepage, you must create a page that has a matching path.
Roles Only users with these assigned roles can access the experience. If you leave this field empty, the experience is open to all logged-in users by default.
