# Featured applications

Employees can discover, access, and manage all their business applications from a single location.

The featured apps serve as a central hub where employees can discover, access, and manage all their work applications from a single location.

**Note:** To use featured applications, you must install EmployeeWorks Web App Extended.

-   Access recently opened applications for faster navigation to frequently used tools.
-   Sort applications alphabetically for systematic organization.
-   Log in with single sign-on \(SSO\) integration.
