Collections

A NetMan Collection is group of NetMan Scripts. They generally contain a selection of applications or hyperlinks that you provide to your users. The NetMan Client can integrate Collections in the Windows Start menu or the Windows desktop. You can use the NetMan Web Client to present your Collections in the NetMan Desktop Manager Web Interface. Collections are created in the NetMan Center, and edited in the NetMan Desktop Manager Collection Editor. All existing Scripts in the system are listed in the Collection Editor. You also have the option of creating scripts while working in the Collection Editor. For example, when you use drag & drop to move a program shortcut to the Collection Editor, this opens the Script Editor. The Collection Editor also offers you the option of copying program shortcuts from the Windows Start menu directly into a new Collection.
