Salesforce Application:

Application is a salesforce is a group of tabs or collection of items that work together as a single unit to serve a particular function. Users can access multiple objects, tabs, reports, and dashboards in a single application. Users can switch between apps using App Launcher in the left-side corner.

There are two types of Salesforce Applications:

1. Standard Application: Salesforce provides standard apps such as Sales, Marketing, Service, Community, Sales Console, Service Console, etc. You can customize tabs in this app.  

2. Custom Application: Custom apps are created according to your business need. Custom Apps let you put your logo and custom color.

Step 2: Give an App Name, Developer Name, Put a Brand logo & choose a theme color and Click on Next.

Step 3: Choose App Options according to your business case. I just make it default and Click on Next.

Step 4: If you want to add a Utility Item for your App, you can add it from this screen and click Next. I am not adding any Utility Item for now.

Step 5: Select the tabs you want to show in your apps. I am choosing Account, and Contacts for now.

Step 6: Select the profiles you want to show this Application and click Save and Finish.

Step 7: From the App Launcher, Find and select Tutorial App.
