How do I configure an external app for a course using a URL?

In Course Navigation, click the Settings link.

Click the Apps tab.

To configure an app, click the View App Configurations button.

Click the Add App button.

Select the Configuration Type drop-down menu and set the configuration type to By URL.

Enter the name of the app in the Name field [1]. Enter the consumer key in the Consumer Key field [2] and the shared secret in the Shared Secret field [3]. This key and shared secret will be provided by the vendor or (if using the Edu App Center) provided by the website.

Note: There are some apps that do not require a consumer key or shared secret, so pay attention to the configuration directions.

In the Configuration URL field [1], enter the URL for the app. Apps are configured and recommended to be entered as secure links (HTTPS).

Click the Submit button [2].

View the external app.

To manage the app, click the Settings icon [1]. To edit the app, click the Edit link [2]. To see the places where the app appears in Canvas, click the Placements link [3]. To delete the app, click the Delete link [4].

Note: When you click the Placements link, you may see a No Placements Enabled message. This message indicates that the app does not have any specified placements within Canvas. However, the app will still work as intended.
