This is the second deployment chapter of the Dash Enterprise Documentation.
The next chapter covers deploying a Dash app on Dash Enterprise.
This page applies to Dash Enterprise 5. If your organization uses Dash Enterprise 4, view information about initializing apps at
https://<your-dash-enterprise-server>/Docs/dash-enterprise/initialize.
Initializing an app creates it in the Dash Enterprise App Manager, reserving its name and giving you access to deployment instructions, settings, and the ability to create a workspace.
You don’t need to have an app already running locally before initializing it on Dash Enterprise (but if you do, make sure you’ve read
Part 1. Preparing Your App for Dash Enterprise). It’s
perfectly fine to initialize an app whose code isn’t written yet.
