Add apps to extend and customize what your project or Space can do, like pulling in market comps, searching parcels, or running feasibility checks. This article covers adding an app that isn't in your project or Space yet. Once you add an app, it's available to everyone who works there.
Looking for an app that's already in your project? You don't need to add it again. Open it in your layout instead.
Built-in apps
Built-in Giraffe apps, like Layers, Properties, and Analytics, are always available and don't appear in the Content Library. Add them to a panel from the panel's + (Add tab) button.
Add an app from the Apps menu
In the top menu bar, click Apps.
Click Add App at the bottom of the menu.
Choose All Apps, Public Apps, or Workspace Apps to narrow the list. Type in Search apps... to search by name.
Click Get on the app.
Giraffe adds the app to your project and opens it as a new tab in your layout. If the app is already in the project, the button reads Open. Click it to open the app in your layout, even if it isn't in any of your panels yet.
Add an app from a panel
Add an app straight into the panel where you want it to open.
Click the + (Add tab) button at the end of a panel's tab bar.
Click Add App at the bottom of the list.
Choose All Apps, Public Apps, or Workspace Apps, or type in Search apps..., and click Get on the app.
Giraffe adds the app to your project and opens it as a new tab in that panel. The rest of the + list is covered in adding an app to a panel.
Add an app from the Content Library
Open the Content Library. Search the command bar for Open Content Library, or choose Apps > Data > Content Library from the top menu bar.
Click Workspace to see apps your workspace owns, or Marketplace to see public apps.
Under Content Type, click Apps.
Find the app. Type in Search for content to search by name.
Click Get on the app.
Giraffe adds the app to your project and opens it as a new tab in your layout. If the app is already in the project, the button reads Open. Click it to open the app in your layout, even if it isn't in any of your panels yet.
Some apps work only in projects, and some work only in Spaces. The Content Library shows the apps that fit where you are.
Add an app from a content pack
Some apps come inside a content pack. Adding one of these apps imports the whole pack.
Click the app's tile to open its details.
Click Import. You can also click Get right on the tile to do the same thing.
Giraffe imports the pack's contents, then opens the app as a new tab in your layout.
An app that's in the project and not in a panel
An app can be in your project without showing in any panel. You don't need to add it again, so find it in your layout and open it.
Locked apps
An app marked Locked isn't included in your plan. Hover the Locked button to see Upgrade to access this content.
Third-party apps
When you add an app that's hosted outside Giraffe, Giraffe shows this warning: Warning: this app is third-party software and may not be secure. Make sure you trust the authors. The warning appears the first time the app is added to a project.
A third-party app can come from several places. Your own internal team may have built it for your workspace. Another provider, like a data vendor or a software partner, may have built it and shared it on the Marketplace. Make sure you know where the app came from and trust its authors before you use it.
