You can select PGM app files (.pgm), Shiny zipped apps and Dash zipped apps. After selecting your file, click on Upload and the new app will appears on the main app listing.

Configuring the app

The configuration of the app will depend on how the app work and how you want people to access the app. You might want to take a look at links, apps allow personal instances setting, persistent mode, links visibility and links max users. Here are some common examples:

PGM apps

Default app settings are generally the best for PGM apps. You can create a link for easier or guest deployment. If your PGM app is heavy (> 50 MB), we recommend to turn on persistent mode.

Dash and Shiny apps

A common configuration for Dash and Shiny apps are:

  • App settings: set Allow personal instances to OFF;
  • App version settings: set Persistent mode to Yes;
  • Create a single public or private link with Visibility set to Show on dashboard and Max users set to 0 (unlimited).
