Key application information and platforms configuration

Key application identifiers. These identifiers are used when connecting your client to brainCloud, or for allowing brainCloud to connect to other third-party services.

Without these identifiers, you will not be able to pair your client app to your app on brainCloud. Be sure to keep your app identifications a secret.

Pairing your app’s identifiers

  • Your App ID is your app’s unique identification on brainCloud. No other app shares your app ID, and it cannot be changed

  • For your App Name, you can enter whatever value desire. Your customers will not see this value, so you could name one app “MyApp [Dev]” and another as “MyApp [Live],” to denote the production and internal versions of your apps.

  • Similar to your app name, your app’s image is an internal picture that can be whatever you like to help represent your app on brainCloud. The example screenshot uses a brainCloud logo as the picture.

  • Your App Secret is used to ensure the connection being made to brainCloud belongs to your app.

  • The Show Game Design Features controls whether gamification features like Achievements and Leaderboards show up on the brainCloud UI. You can uncheck this box to help clean up the UI, and re-enable the box should you decide to add these features later.

If your app secret is ever leaked, it can be refreshed with the [Regenerate App Secret] icon. Just so you know, you must click the [Save] button for the new secret to be saved.

Were you accidentally saved your current app secret? You can enter a copy of your old secret into the App Secret box, and save your old secret. You can change your secret to any text value, however, a secure GUID, like the ones generated by the [Regenerate App Secret] icon, is highly recommended.

When using features that require brainCloud to pair with other dashboards, you will have to enter those platforms' associated identifiers in the Configure Platform section.
