Including different apps in one page

I want to build a page with different modules that are basically already existing apps. Doing an ajax call will retrieve the whole page containing an iframe with the latest release of the app. This will create a conflict in the styles and will create multiple html tags in the same page which is not correct. I believe that having a function that would get the latest version of a specific app will allow me to create the url for that app example : /Apps/WebApiMultiDll/1.1.1/ and this way i can create the iframe using javascript and embed it in my initial page. Any other ideas on this?

I'm still not sure what you are trying to achieve, but if you would like to know the latest (default) version of an app, hosted in AppServer, that available to the current user, you could get it by make ajax call to the app url with `?type=json` like this:

https://amers1.apps.cp.icp2.mpp.reutest.com/Apps/twittersentiment?type=json

A result would look like this:

{ "appName": "twittersentiment", "version": "2.11.6", "srv": "US1I-CTKUITK07" }

**Note:** different users may have different default versions as configured in AppHits

For more details on what's available for Apps hosted in AppServer, please see [App Server - Programmer's Guide](https://thehub.thomsonreuters.com/docs/DOC-666879?utm_medium=search&utm_source=full#jive_content_id_Application_Access__Versioned_and_Versionless_App_URLs)

For a Views Explorer page like the Company Overview, you could use `?mode=plain` to strip out the navigation menu.

There are more options to the `mode=` parameters, please see [Query String Parameters](https://thehub.thomsonreuters.com/docs/DOC-69891?utm_medium=search&utm_source=full#jive_content_id_Plain_mode)

Instead of redeveloping existing apps for new required pages i was checking the possibility to include existing apps. Example : let's say i have a new page on eikon where i need to include the company overview as a part of that page. Currently including it from an ajax call will include the navigation menu as well. I was checking if there's a way to do it in a different way

That really depends on which pages you are going to embed. For the Company Overview page, it's a Views Explorer page, so you could exclude the navigation menu easily by appending `?mode=plain` like this: https://amers1.apps.cp.icp2.mpp.reutest.com/Explorer/EVzCORPxOVzLATEST.aspx?s=ACX.MC&st=RIC&mode=plain

Thanks a lot for the quick response. the mode variable is very useful and almost what i'm looking for. Is there any documentation for these url variables (type and mode) ?
