Desktop App Management and Maintenance

Overview

This article introduces desktop app management and maintenance, including search, preview, configuration, and follow-up maintenance for data apps.

Usage Guide

Resource search is an efficient tool that helps users quickly find and access various data resources in the platform. With resource search, users can manage data resources more conveniently, improving work efficiency and user experience.

Data app resources support directory-based search. For details about search methods, see Resource Search.

Folder Management

Users can create folders to archive and search desktop apps.

On the desktop app list page, create a new folder or multi-level folders. You can then set owners and visitors for the folder, rename it, move it to another folder, and perform other operations.

Batch Operations

You can select desktop apps in batches and move them to a folder or delete them in batches.

App Preview

Guandata BI supports previewing desktop apps from the desktop app list page.

Select any desktop app and click Preview to open the app access page.

View Page Information

When users select a target app, they can quickly learn about and access each page in the app.

Permission Configuration

Guandata BI supports assigning app permissions to different users. Permissions for a single app are divided into owners and visitors:

  • App owner: Can edit, modify, and maintain the app.
  • App visitor: Can enter and browse the app. The navigation bar only displays pages for which the current user has visitor permissions.

On the desktop app list page, select any app, hover over ..., and select Owner Management or Visitor Management from the drop-down list to assign the corresponding access permissions to users or user groups. For details about owners and visitors, see Resource Permission Management.

View Resource Lineage

On the desktop app list page, hover over the ... button of any desktop app and select View Resource Lineage from the drop-down menu to view the upstream references of the current desktop app. For more information about resource lineage, see Resource Lineage.

Move To

Users can use Move To to move a desktop app from its current location to a specified directory, organizing and managing the hierarchy of desktop apps.

On the desktop app list page, hover over the ... button of any desktop app and select Move To from the drop-down menu.

Rename

Users can modify the desktop app name with the Rename feature.

On the desktop app list page, hover over the ... button of any desktop app and select Rename from the drop-down menu.

Migration

Guandata BI supports migrating desktop apps from a test environment to a production environment. This operation is available only to administrators. For details, see Online Migration.

On the desktop app list page, hover over the ... button of any desktop app and select Migrate from the drop-down menu.

Delete

To delete a desktop app, go to the desktop app list page, hover over the ... button of any desktop app, and select Delete from the drop-down menu.
