Application Catalog Organization and Structure
AdminStudio 2023 | 25.0 | Application Manager
Edition:Application Manager is included with AdminStudio Professional and Enterprise Editions.
AdminStudio's Application Manager uses an application-centric organization model. The tree is structured to display multiple deployment formats under a parent Application node. One application can have multiple packages (or deployment types) such as Windows Installer, Microsoft App-V, Citrix XenApp, VMware ThinApp, Apple iOS, Google Android, PowerShell-wrapped packages, etc.
The following image illustrates Application Manager’s tree structure.
