# Run a CRM Analytics App to View Dashboards and Lenses

You can run an app in the Analytics tab or Analytics Studio.

1. Select **Browse** and then **Apps**.
    
    If you can't find your app, enter part of its title in search.
2. Next to the app name, click the arrow ![Downward pointing triangle](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-analytics-bi-264-0-0-production-enus/ec791473-f5b4-4f64-a656-9104f455d966/bi/images/bi/bi_app_navigation_down_arrow.png) and select **Run App**.
    
    The app opens in a tab in presentation mode, displaying the first dashboard or lens on your navigation list.

From the running app, you can:

- [Present full screen](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=analytics.bi_app_present.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Conduct meetings directly from CRM Analytics by presenting dashboards in running apps. With dashboards instead of slides with static images, you have real-time access to your data, and you can showcase dynamic visualizations.")
- [Share](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=analytics.bi_explorer_share_viz.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Share a visualization with your colleagues by posting to Chatter, getting its unique URL, downloading a screenshot of it, or downloading its filtered data. A Chatter post provides an image and a link to the asset—lens, dashboard, or app—in CRM Analytics. Colleagues with the link and access to the asset can drill down and explore the information that’s presented. To share without giving access to the asset, use the download options.")
- [Set and manage notifications](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=analytics.bi_notifications.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Set up CRM Analytics to notify you about changes to your important business metrics, when and where you choose. Attach notification criteria to widgets in dashboards, and select when to run the queries. You can see notifications in CRM Analytics, Lightning Experience, CRM Analytics for iOS, and email. Add recipients from your org to the email’s distribution list to notify colleagues at the same time as yourself.")
- [Subscribe to widgets and lenses](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=analytics.bi_subscriptions.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Subscribe to lenses and dashboard widgets and receive a daily or weekly email with updates on your most important charts and metrics, and table data in .csv attachments.") (if you have permission)
- [Annotate dashboard widgets](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=analytics.bi_dashboard_annotations.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Annotate dashboard widgets with comments posted in the dashboard and in Chatter. With annotations, you can hold conversations about your data and how it’s visualized, with the dashboard right there for reference.")
- [View exploration history](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=analytics.bi_explorer_view_history.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Exploring your data can lead you down many paths. Not all of them are fruitful, and that’s OK. CRM Analytics keeps a full history of your activity in a lens. If you’ve changed your lens in undesired ways, or just want to see those nifty animations again, use history to backtrack quickly to a previous state in your visualization.")
- [Print](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=analytics.bi_dashboard_print.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Dashboards are printer-friendly, and you can print or save PDF files of dashboards from your browser.")
- [Open dashboards in the dashboard designer to edit them](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=analytics.bi_dashboard_build_flex.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Build a CRM Analytics dashboard to continuously monitor key metrics of your business, analyzing the results by key dimensions, like region, products, and time period. Add interactive charts that synthesize information into an easy-to-read format. To complement the charts, add tables that show record-level details. Add filters to allow dashboard viewers to change the focus of the results. Create customized layouts to optimize the display of a dashboard on different types of devices, like mobile phones, tablets, and desktops.") (if you have permission and access)
