    Hi,

    App means an Application. In Salesforce an Application consists a group of tabs which are designed to work as a single function. We have number of applications in Salesforce.com some of them are sales, marketing, chatter, site.com, work.com etc.

    We can create new application and also customization for the existing apps in Salesforce.com. To create new app in sfdc go to Setup=>Build=>Create=>App.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    An app in Salesforce is nothing but a container which contains in it - a name, a logo, and an ordered set of tabs. All the metadata such as Objects, Visualforce Pages, Classes, etc are independent of an app. An app just helps to group things together visually. But internally the metadata has nothing to do with an app i.e. you can have the same tab, VF Page in multiple apps.

    Thanks.

    So a custom app is really nothing more than a collection of tabs and where this becomes important is as you grow in the Salesforce platform, you end up having a lot of tabs. You have all of your standard tabs: Leads, Accounts, Contacts, Opportunities, Cases, whatever it might be. But then you also might have a bunch of custom tabs as well for your custom objects. And your users, you really want to tailor that experience for your users so they’re only seeing the tabs that are pertinent to their job role. So your back office people are only seeing tabs for their job role. Your sales people only a seeing tabs for their job role, kind of reducing the noise on the page.

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    A Salesforce App is a group of Tabs that makes it easy for users to access a set of related features in Salesforce.The concept of App as a way to organize Tabs is not used in the Salesforce1 Mobile App.
