A Hosted App is a container-backed application published to a ThinkPlatform project. It can open on a dedicated Canvas application page or inside a document or dashboard. Your deployment administrator must enable and configure Hosted Apps before a developer can publish to it.

​
Open and try an app

  1. Select the organization and project where the app was published. Open the Canvas page or project link provided by its developer.
  2. Complete the app’s ThinkPlatform authentication and review any requested data permissions before granting consent.
  3. Perform one small intended action. If the app changes a record, reopen the record to verify its saved value.
For the sample app, the page should display Inspection app. A dedicated application page uses the page area for the app rather than document blocks or widget frames, while retaining navigation back to ThinkPlatform. The app’s declared permissions and your current project/resource permissions both apply. A shared page does not grant access to an unrelated Table or every SDK operation. Report a denied operation with the project, app and displayed message; do not use another person’s credentials to work around it.

​
If the app does not open

Ask the developer to inspect publication and readiness. A stopped release, incomplete build, missing consent or unavailable deployment service can prevent access. A long publication wait does not establish that a separate deployment is needed; check the recorded result before retrying. A process on an arbitrary port inside an Agent Workspace is not automatically a Hosted App. Use the supported publication workflow and its authenticated endpoint rather than exposing a workspace port directly. See Operate agent workspaces.

​
Develop or update an app

Use the CLI publication guide to publish source or a Registry image, create the Canvas page, and update or stop a release. Data-aware backends use request-bound SDK access. When handing an app to users, provide its page URL, app ID, tested actions and any remaining limits.
