Nomad for Web has a 'hidden' killer feature called the Application Switcher

Nomad for Web has a 'hidden' killer feature called the Application Switcher. When enabled, a tile icon appears in the top left corner of Nomad. 

Pressing the icon displays a list of 'applications' you can call directly from Nomad. Applications are URLs and icons specified in a json configuration file in the Nomad directory on the Domino server. 

Selecting the Application Launches it, and using a Notes Style URL, it will launch in Nomad:

To specify the URL of a Domino database, and have it open in Nomad, we found the follow syntax works:

"URL": "https://host_server_name:9443/nomad/#/Notes://cn_of_domino_server/replica_ID"

for example

"URL": "https://optimus.preemptive.com.au:9443/nomad/#/Notes://optimus/CB2685290010030E" 

How to enable and configure the feature is documented here -> https://help.hcltechsw.com/nomad/1.0_admin/config_application_switcher.html

The only tricky bit we found was using a custom icon. In our case, what we needed to do, was copy the icon into the domino\nomad-files directory and specify the URL to it as 

https://servername:9443/nomad/icon_filename.ico

This is a great feature. Well done HCL.
