Categories

Prev Next

Categories help you establish a more granular organization of the packages you deploy to users.
In order for a category to be displayed on the user's device, you must first assign the packages within the category to that user. Moreover, based on the way you set up a package, the category is displayed in Workspace tab, Catalog tab or both.
To view which categories does an app belong to, go to Manage > Workspace > Packages > open the app you need and go to Catalog > Categories.

Categories list

This list displays all categories currently available in the Application Workspace System.

Selecting multiple rows from the table

  • To select multiple adjacent rows, click on the first row, then hold down the Shift key and click on the last row in the range; all rows between will be selected.
  • To select multiple non-adjacent rows, hold down the Ctrl key (or "Command" on Mac) and click on each row you want to select individually.
  • To select multiple adjacent rows using the mouse only, click and hold the left mouse button on the first row, then drag the cursor up or down across the rows to highlight the desired ones.
  • Selecting rows using only the keyboard is not possible.
