Your launchpad includes all tiles (apps) assigned to you based on your job function or role. In addition to creating a My Home tile group to organize your favorites, you can also create a custom tile group to organize tiles to suit your workflow or particular job tasks. A custom tile group is a called a user created group.

Important note: When creating a custom tile group, it is important to follow the pinning process described in the procedure below. Do not drag and drop tiles from a default tile group into a custom tile group. Refer to the important note about editing in the Editing the Home Page KB article.
