Integrate third party applications

If there are applications that you use frequently in connection with remote management, you can create your own section in the left pane of the Remote Management window and add commands to open any third party application.

The user defined section in the left pane of the Remote Management window is added beneath the Management section; see illustration and description in Management pane. Within the user defined section, the third party applications can be added beneath user-defined group headings like for example Utilities or Tools.
