Application Manager Help Application Manager is a container for the applications and other tools available on your system. The top level of Application Manager contains a set of application groups. An application group is a special folder containing the application and, optionally, other useful files such as sample data files, templates, and "read me" files. The application groups in your Application Manager are either built in or have been placed there by your system administrator. They may be located on your own system or can be elsewhere in the network. Click the Application Manager control in the Front Panel.
