Unable to add custom app in the left side navbar of erpnext

Hi,

In my current Frappe Bench setup, I have:

  1. Created a site
  2. ⁠Installed erpnext on the site
  3. ⁠Created a custom app
  4. ⁠Installed custom app on the site

What I want to do next is to be able to view the custom app on the left side navbar in Erpnext but I am unable to do so.
On my local frappe-bench setup, I don’t even see a Create New Workspace button on the UI.

Note: I have enabled the dev mode for my site

Any help would be highly appreciated

Thanks for your reply.

I have been able to create a Workspace with the following details:
Title: Random Title
Module: module-defname
App: custom-appname
Type: Workspace

Now since this is a custom app, module def record has appname set to the customapp.

If I want the module to be visible as a left side navbar option in erpnext, would changing the appname in module def to erpnext be the cleanest approach.?

What I want to do is to be able to leverage some of the ERPNext modules in my custom app. What is the best approach to do this?

While creating workspace keep it public this may help you to see your workspace and then you can add role permissions in that workspace
