Adding an Application
- admin (Deactivated)
This topic describes how a user can add an application(s) to their profile.
Note that a user must have the necessary permission and be assigned the appropriate license in order to see and add a particular application to his or her profile. Application permissions and licenses are assigned to users and user groups by the system administrator.
When a user adds an application to his or her profile in the Aptify Desktop client, that application becomes available in the Navigation Bar (and Folder List). A user can also specify whether or not the application appears in the default Aptify Ribbon and/or the Applications toolbar.
Perform the following steps to add an application to your profile using the Desktop client:
- Open the Application dialog using one of the following methods:
- Click the Aptify button and select Applications from the pop-up menu.
- From the Navigation Bar, right-click the Home heading and select Applications from the pop-up menu.
- From the Folder List, right-click the Home heading and select Applications from the pop-up menu.
- The Aptify Applications dialog contains two columns:
- The left-hand column lists the applications that are available to the user but are not currently in the user's profile.
- The right-hand column lists the applications that are currently in the user's profile.
- Click the Aptify button and select Applications from the pop-up menu.
- In the left-hand column, locate the application that you want to add to your profile.
- You can perform a keyboard search to find a particular application. To do so, select the column in the left-hand window and type the first characters in the name of the application you are searching for. When a match exists, the selection will change to that row.
- If you cannot read an application's name, widen the Name column by dragging the line between Name and Description in the header.
- Select the application and click the double right arrow (>>).
