Add your JamieSpace to your Home Screen

Step 1 - Customize the icon - (Admins only)

Only the admin/owner of a JamieSpace can upload an image.  Otherwise you’ll see a generic J – JamieSpace icon (As seen on the right).

If you are the admin – click on the backend admin at the top of your space – Configuration – Site Content/Logo.

It will be the Mobile Icon.  Choose an image – resize it and save.

Step 2 - Add it to your phone

For Iphone/Ipad:

What’s more, you can create as many website links as you like and arrange them on your iPhone or iPad Home screen, just like you would with regular apps. Here’s how it works.

How to Create a Website Link on Your Home Screen

  1. Launch Safari on your ‌iPhone‌ or ‌iPad‌.
  2. Navigate to the site that you want to create a Home screen shortcut to.
  3. Tap the Share icon (the square with an arrow pointing out of it) at the bottom of the screen.
  4. Scroll down to the list of actions and tap Add to Home Screen. (If you don’t see the action, scroll to the bottom and tap Edit Actions, then tap Add next to the Add to Home Screen action. After that, you’ll be able to select it from the Share Sheet.)
  5. Type a name for your site link. This will be the title that appears beneath its icon on your Home screen.
  6. Tap Add in the top-right corner of the screen.

Your new “web app” will appear in the next available space on your device’s Home screen. To move it like you would any other app, tap and hold its icon, then tap Edit Home Screen, and you’ll be able to drag it to your desired location. When you’ve placed it where you want it, tap Done.

  2. Open the website or web page you want to pin to your home screen.
  3. Tap the menu icon (3 dots in upper right-hand corner) and tap Add to homescreen.
  4. You’ll be able to enter a name for the shortcut and then Chrome will add it to your home screen.
