ClassLink has the ability to link you seamlessly to your various web accounts from within ClassLink. This feature is called Single Sign-On (SSO) which means you will not have to enter your username and password every time you enter that website - your username and password for applications are saved. Apps that have single sign-on capabilities can be found in the App Library. They are differentiated by SSO banners with a key in the top right corner.
 

 
When clicking on an application, in some cases, the username and password are embedded - you will click on the application and it will log you right in.  In other cases, a Password Locker will prompt you to enter your username and password and then click Save, just one time.  ClassLink will then store that username and password combination for you and you will not have to enter it again.
 

 

Tool Bar

App Libray:  Click the + icon to access the App Library to add additional applications to your My Apps screen.
Edit Mode: Click the Edit icon to create folders, change the theme, app size, font style, or wallpaper.
Search: This allows you to search through your apps to find a specific app. You do not need to click the search bar to start searching, just begin typing the name of the app and it will automatically search your apps.  You also have the ability to filter your search by creating and categorizing apps with Tags.

Tags

Apps can include tags to categorize for filtering and sorting. To add a tag, either right-click an app and select Add Tag from the App Tags menu or click the Tag icon in the Search Bar in the top right side of the page and click Add Tag.  To tag an app, right-click the app you wish to tag and then select a tag from the App Tags section. Filtering by tags is done by clicking the Tag icon in the Search Bar, then selecting a tag to filter by.   
 
                                               

 
Tags can also be deleted in the same manner by choosing the Edit icon that appears when hovering over the tag name.
