About WebApps

WebApps is a highly-customizable version of the former legacy Web Client.  Administrators can assign applications like Inbox, Create Distribution, Mobile Reservations and more to customized WebApps profiles. The profiles are applied to specific user groups and define what user group members can see or do. The Server Administrator > Configuration > WebApps node is used to configure the WebApps UI (User Interface).

Creating a WebApps Client profile

You can create a profile by using Server Administrator > Configuration >WebApps.

To create a new profile
