 The user application will also be automatically be added to the app launcher menu.
 
-Since the list of **user** application is generated by CMake, add a new `option` in the main [CMakeLists.txt file](../../CMakeLists.txt). The application will be built by default if the value is set to `True`. : 
+Since the list of **user** application is generated by CMake, you need to add the variable `ENABLE_USERAPPS` to the command line of CMake. This variable must be set with a string composed of an ordered list of the **user** applications that must be built into the firmware. The items of the list are fields from the enumeration `Apps`. Ex : build the firmware with 3 user application : Alarm, Timer and MyApp (the application will be listed in this specific order in the application menu).
 
 ```cmake
-option(ENABLE_APP_MYAPP "Enable the MyApp application" True)
-```
-
-The default value can be overridden by passing an additional parameter to the command line of CMake : 
-
-```cmake
-$ cmake ... -DENABLE_APP_MYAPP=True ...
-```
-
-Then add your **user app** to the list of apps by calling `AddToListIfEnabled()` : 
-
-```cmake
-AddToListIfEnabled(USERAPP_TYPES_LIST ${ENABLE_APP_MYAPP} "Apps::MyApp")
+$ cmake ... -DENABLE_USERAPPS="Apps::Alarm, Apps::Timer, Apps::MyApp" ... 
 ```
 
 You should now be able to [build](../buildAndProgram.md) the firmware
