App config overview


An app config is an apps management and configuration tool. From your JWP dashboard, you can manage the content and features of your apps built with the JWP Web App:

  • Associate content with an app
  • Specify where content is displayed
  • Align the appearance of the app with your brand
  • Monetize content
  • Define aspects of the user experience

App config settings


In addition to managing the content and features of your apps, you can implement multiple app configurations to help improve the viewing experience:

  • Selecting content for different geographical regions
  • Specifying content for viewing platforms, such as web, iOS, and Roku
  • Evaluating the effectiveness of content line-ups through A/B testing
  • Differentiating between environments, such as development and production

🚧

Applicaster-based apps are managed and customized through Applicaster's Zapp Studio. Creating a new or editing an existing app config will not change the content or features of these apps.
