Managing applications with the Cloud Platform interface
In the Cloud Platform user interface toolbar, select Develop to view the All Applications page. The All Applications page displays all the applications you have access to. These applications are hosted by Cloud Platform. You can tag application and use filtering options to manage applications easily.
Modifying views of applications
Select the grid or list icons to switch between the following displays for all applications:
Grid view: Displays a tile for each application with its name, URL, application tags, and if applicable, version of PHP installed on the production environment
List view: Lists each application with its name, URL, application tags, and if applicable, version of PHP installed on the production environment
To view a subset of your applications, you can use the following features:
Select the triangle in the breadcrumb menu to display a list of organizations your account belongs to, and the applications each organization controls.
Select the Filter Applications field to the right of the grid and list icons to limit which applications are displayed. Start typing in the field. The All Applications page displays the applications whose names or application tags match the string you enter. You can also use or as an operator to use more than one filter.
Select the Starred button to view the starred applications. To star an application, use the corresponding star icon.
Select an organization in the All Organizations dropdown menu to view all the applications associated with the selected organization.
