Hornbill App Store

Note

Premium apps can be installed at any time, however, subscription licenses must be applied before any users can be given access to the app.

Learn About Updates

Our platform and applications are continuously and automatically updated to ensure that all of our customers always have the latest features and fixes. This is done automatically without any service downtime and we guarantee that all customizations and integrations will continue to work.

When a new update of an installed application is available, a notification will be displayed in the Hornbill App Store. Applications are automatically updated during the maintenance window (0530 UTC Mon-Fri). If you wish to apply the update before the maintenance window, you can proceed with applying the update immediately by clicking on the Update button.

  1. Open Configuration and search using the name of the application. For example Hornbill Board Manager.
  2. In the results list under the section Hornbill App Store, select the application
  3. Click on the Update button.

Tip

The update button will only show if there is an available update to apply. If the update button is visible, you can expect the update to be automatically applied that same day during the maintenance window, without having to click on the Update button.

How To Manage Subscriptions

The Hornbill Solution Center provides information about your subscriptions for the different apps. Here you can add and remove users from a selected app while keeping track of how many available subscriptions you have.

  1. From the Configuration navigator, select Hornbill Solution Center.
  2. Under Subscription select Your Usage.
  3. Select Application Subscriptions.
  4. Under the subscriptions column, click on the subscription counter to view and modify the list of subscribed users.

Tip

Users can also be allocated subscriptions through role assignments. If you assign a user to an application role that has a privilege level of user a subscription will be allocated to that user when they next log in.

Uninstalling An App

If you happen to have an application installed that you no longer need, it can be removed with a click of a button. Have you uninstalled it by mistake? Not a worry…your data is intact. Re-install and start from where you left off.

  1. Search Configuration for the application name.
