Add as Managed Application


Applications can be managed in via the Application Monitoring node. This means, software applications can be monitored when they are used and how often, they can be prohibited from starting and they may be protected, that is, they will heal themselves if they become corrupted in any way. You can add a software directly from this view to the list of managed applications. Only applications of type Application or Browser , which contain all required information to be managed, can be added. If an application listed in the software inventory does not provide all necessary information, or its type is MSI or Add/Remove Programs , this option will not be available. To add an application for managing proceed as follows:

  1. In the list of applications select the application(s) to be added to the list of managed applications.
  2. Select Edit > Add as Managed Application add_swinvlist.png.
     A confirmation window appears.
  3. In this window you can define the folder into which the application is to be added. By default it is added directly under the main application list node. To add it to another folder click the icon to the right (...). The ** window appears displaying the folder hierarchy. If the desired target folder does not yet exist you can also create new folders. To do so first select the parent folder of the new one and then select click New Folder below the hierarchy. The Properties dialog box appears. Enter the desired data into the respective text boxes and then click OK at the bottom of the window to confirm the new application list folder. Select the target folder and click OK to confirm and to close the window.
  4. An Information window will now appear in which you can also directly add the selected application to an existing application list. Click Yes to do so, No to only add the application to the application catalog.
  5. If you selected Yes , the Assign an Application List dialog box appears providing the list of existing application lists.
  6. Select the desired application list from one of the lists available in the window.
  7. Click OK at the bottom of the window to confirm.
