44 The Application Launcher
Adding an Application
Follow these steps to add an application to the list in the App Launcher settings tab:
1. On the App Launcher tab, click Add. The Application Configuration window appears (see
page 48).
2. Enter the name of the application that you are adding in the Profile Name field. The name
entered here will be displayed in the
App Launcher tab.
3. Click Browse next to the box marked File.
4. Select the file you wish to add to the list and then click OK.
5. If the application requires any additional parameters to be entered on the command line
when it is launched, you can enter them in the
Parameters field.
6. If you want to use an icon other than the application’s default icon, click Browse next to the
box marked
Icon. You may select either an icon (.ico) file or an executable (.exe) file. When
you are finished selecting the file, click
OK to return to the Application Configuration
window.
Note: Executable files may contain multiple icons. By default, Sprint SmartView will select the
application's primary icon. Ordinarily, this means that you don’t have to change the value in
the
Icon Index field. However, if you choose a different icon file in step 6 and that file is an
executable (.exe) file, you must enter the index of the icon you wish to use. For example, if you
want to use the first icon in the file, enter the number “1.”
7. Click OK.
