## Create a bookmark application for Coherent Spark

Since Coherent Spark uses the Service Provider-Initiated (SP-Initiated) Flow (reference [Federation](/identity-and-access-management/federation.md)), you need to create a bookmark application to allow users to access Spark from the Okta My Apps dashboard.

1. In the Okta *Admin Console*, go to *Applications* from the left pane.
2. Click on *Browse App Catalog*.
3. Search for *Bookmark App*.
4. Once found, click **Add Integration**.
5. Enter your Application Label (Name) and your Spark tenant URL in the format `https://spark.{environment}.coherent.global/{tenant}`.
6. Click **Done**.
7. If you would like to do so, change the logo for this application.
8. Assign the bookmark application to the appropriate users/groups.
9. Navigate to your Okta User Home page `/app/UserHome` and confirm the app is shown.
10. Click on the Spark Bookmark App — you should be redirected to Spark without entering credentials (SSO).

## For SAML applications: Configure the sign-in application&#x20;

If your sign-in application uses SAML, follow these steps:

1. In the Okta Admin Console, navigate to *Applications* from the left pane.
2. Click on your Coherent Spark application.
3. Go to the *General* tab.
4. In *App Settings*, click **Edit**.
5. Check *Do not display application icon to users*.
6. Click **Save**.
