On a standard out-of-the-box system, Aptify provides a default Home ribbon tab and automatically generates ribbon data for each user depending on the user's subscribed applications and the Application Users and Application User Entities metadata. See The Aptify Ribbon section in The Aptify Desktop chapter of the Aptify User Guide for Using the Desktop Client Ribbon for information on the default ribbon behavior and how a user can modify the items the appear in his or her ribbon.

Follow these steps to create a ribbon:
- Browse to the Applications Ribbons service (contained in the Framework application by default).
- Open a new Applications Ribbons record.
- Enter a Name for the ribbon.
- Enter the Application to which this ribbon applies in the Application ID link box. To create a ribbon for the Home tab, leave this field blank.
- If you want Aptify to automatically generate the ribbon groups based on Application User Entities metadata, select the Auto Generate Groups option. Otherwise to define specific groups, leave this option unchecked.
- Select the Is Active box option to enable this ribbon for users. While developing the ribbon, you may want to leave the Is Active box unchecked and only select it after you have completed the ribbon design.
- Enter a description for this record.
- Save the record.
- Click the Application Ribbon Groups tab and create one or more ribbon groups as needed. See Defining Desktop Client Ribbon Groups for details.
- When you are ready to deploy the ribbon, select the Is Active option (if not already selected).
- Save and close the record.
