| In the Apps view, click on "Manage Apps"                                                              | ![](/files/rGY6HjksTs7l6zhf5PMe) |
| In the "Manage Apps" view, click on the "Add Apps" option at the top-right hand portion of the screen | ![](/files/8Y6lud7UJqeHcEgBol2Z) |

### **Step 2:** Choose from the type of App that you want to create <a href="#step_2-_choose_from_the_type_of_app_that_you_want_to_create" id="step_2-_choose_from_the_type_of_app_that_you_want_to_create"></a>

You are now in the "Add Apps" view.  You will be given the option to create one of three Motion Apps. Each one of the Motion Apps can be described in this [article](https://help.motion.cloud/hc/en-us/articles/8920821241997).  The three types of apps that you can create are:

1. Mosaic App
2. Property Manager App **(coming soon)**
3. Tenant App **(coming soon)**

In this article, we will discuss how to create a Mosaic App.&#x20;

| Steps                                                                | Screenshots                      |
| -------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------- |
| Click the green "Create App" button in the "Mosaic by Motion" window | ![](/files/09sx5EuxA22JQitkzKHn) |

### **Step 3:** Input a name for the newly created Mosaic App <a href="#step_3-_input_a_name_for_the_newly_created_mosaic_app" id="step_3-_input_a_name_for_the_newly_created_mosaic_app"></a>

After clicking "Create App", you will be directed to a "New App" pop-up window and the user will input the unique name the App.  This is the name that will appear on the Apps view, and can be renamed if needed.

| Steps                                    | Screenshots                      |
| ---------------------------------------- | -------------------------------- |
| Input an App name and click "Create App" | ![](/files/4Q2ayW2L8ctc7TMflzfM) |
