Portal© allows you the ability
to launch applications from the File Menu – External Applications list. This screen is where you setup links to the
applications you wish to list. To
launch an application you have linked, simply click on the desired application
name in the menu listing.
External Applications Screen Elements
Application Grid
This grid displays
all applications that you have currently linked, along with the file path to
that application’s .EXE file. Any
applications that no longer exist (because they have been moved or deleted)
will appear in white text on a red background.
Delete Link Button
Deletes the link to
the currently selected application.
This does not delete the application, of course, only the link that you
created to it from Portal©.
Application Link
Field
This field is where
you enter the name of the application.
This is the value that will appear on the main menu for you to
select. If you don’t enter a value here
and then select an application via the Browse Button, the name of the .EXE file
will be parsed into this field.
Filename Field
This field displays
the full directory path to the application’s .EXE file.
Browse Button
Pressing this
button allows you to explore to the application you desire.
Add Application
Link Button
Pressing this button will
create a link from Portal© to the application you have chosen. Once a link has been created, you can then
activate the application via Portal© by using the File menu -> External
Applications list.
Replaces the
currently selected application link/filename with the new one.
Close Button
Closes the External
Applications Screen.
