My Apps is the first thing you will see when you log into ClassLink. This gives you instant access to the resources that have been provided for you by your school or Elk Grove Unified School District. What applications you see will change depending on the site where you work or the department you're in.

In the EGUSD Network Only collection are apps that can only be accessed when on a district computer on the district network. They are not accessible outside of the district network.

 You can also customize your portal console and add  your own applications. Click on the + symbol on the main console page. You will see many applications in the App Library. EGUSD does not control what apps appear in the All Apps tab of the library. Many of these applications have not gone through the Tech-based Materials Review Process and are not currently supported by Technology Services or other departments. 

 Perform a search for the app you want to add.  

Click on Add if the app you’re searching for is in the search results.  Apps with the key ribbon across the right corner indicates the ability to save your username and password when you launch the app from your console.  It will not be required to save your password for these apps. (This is explained in further detail below.)

You can organize the applications on your portal console by making folders and rearranging icons. To create a folder, click on the pad and pencil icon in the upper right corner and click Add Folder.  

Once the folder is created, you can move app icons into your new folder.  Click and drag the app you want to move until it appears completely enclosed in the folder icon and release the mouse.

Another method to create a folder is to simply drag an icon on top of another. To rename the folder, right click on the folder and click Edit Folder.  

To remove an app from a folder, open the folder, right click on the app, and click Remove from Folder.  To move an app from one folder to another, first remove it from its current folder,. Then, drag it to another folder. 

Password Locker allows you to store passwords for applications that are labeled as SSO (key ribbon in right corner of the app icon).  When you launch one of these type of apps for the first time, you may be prompted with something similar to this:

If you would like to save your password in the locker, you would enter your username and password and click on Save.  (The Email address field is the username for the app.)  The next time you choose that app from your console, you will be automatically logged in.

If you change your password for any apps stored in your password locker, you will need to update your password locker for that application.  This can be done by right clicking on the application and choose “Update Password”.

Click on Edit for the default locker for the app:

Scroll down to the Credentials section and re-enter your new password.

Click Save.  Click Close to exit the locker screen. The next time you choose the app, you will be automatically logged on again.

My Files is your place to access, edit, and store all of your files and folders located on your school network and your Google Drive, from any device.  Click on My Files on your portal console.  It will open up in its own tab. You will see an outline view of your storage locations on the left.

If you don't see your google drive listed, you will need to add it under Manage Services.  Click Connect under Google Drive.

You will be able to see all of your files and documents that you work on at school. You can view, edit and save these files, from any device.  A right click on a file will present several options:

• Open in Office Online: will open your Office document with the appropriate Office app in the browser.

• Open in Google Docs: will open your document and give you the ability to edit the document using Google docs.

• Download: will download your document to your local device

• Open on Your Device: will open the document on your local workstation using the locally installed app, e.g. a Word document opened on a Windows workstation will be opened with WORD on your workstation.

Any edits performed from MyFiles will save the file in the original location which includes your H drive, etc.  You can also create new document and upload existing documents using the New and Upload buttons.
