Improving user experience

To provide a better user experience while using OKTA and Skills Workflow integration, it is recommended to:

• Not displaying the SSO app to the users
• But create a Bookmark App within OKTA that will provide the full SSO user experience

Please proceed with the following steps:

1. On the General tab, set the application visibility as not visible to the users

   

2. Go to Applications, and create a Bookmark App.

   • Set the Application Name as Skills Workflow
   • Set the URL with the Tenant URL followed by /SSOLogin
   • And assign the users to this new Bookmark App
   • Once it is created, go back to Bookmark App settings and under General tab, add a Logo to the Bookmark App
