# Launcher screens

Launcher screens serve as landing pages or home pages. Using a launcher screen, you can access screens in various formats, as well as search, do quick actions, and find user information.

Launcher screens serve as landing pages. A launcher screen serves as a container to give your users access to functions and information.

When creating a new launcher screen, you configure the following few components within the launcher screen itself:

 -   **[Headers](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/mobile/create-alp-header.md)**

The header of the launcher screen defines how the title of the screen appears and what information is shown in the header.

-   **[Global search](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/mobile/mobile-search-config.md)**

Global search gives your users the ability to search for information within the defined search sources from a mobile app.

-   **[UI sections](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/mobile/alp-ui-sections.md)**

UI sections contain the screen, charts, and record information on your launcher screen pages.

-   **[Quick actions](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/mobile/sg-config-quick-actions.md)**

Quick actions give users the ability to access commonly used functions from a launcher screen.
