Make this the default shared Application Catalog

Connect Application Catalog Dialog Box Only

When this option is selected, the Application Catalog you are trying to open or create will become the default Application Catalog (and be recorded as such in the AdminStudio Shared directory).

If the Application Catalog is made the default, all other AdminStudio users that use the same shared directory will automatically connect to the default Application Catalog when AdminStudio is launched. Therefore, you should only set this option if you want to affect all AdminStudio users who access that shared directory.
