Application Manager Tree and Subnode Icons

AdminStudio 2025 R2 | 30.0 | Application Manager

Application Manager is included with AdminStudio Professional and Enterprise Editions.

The icons used in the Application Manager tree and its subnodes are described in this section.

Application Manager Tree Icons

These icons are used on the Application Manager Products, Merge Modules, and Environment tabs in the tree:

NameIconDescription
GroupA group, which is used to organize your data.
ApplicationAn application that has been imported into the Application Catalog database. The application can include multiple deployment types—such as a Windows Installer package, a Microsoft App-V package, a VMware ThinApp package, etc. Each deployment type is indicated by a separate subnode of this application node. For most applications, an icon included in the application files is used to represent it in the tree. If an application does not include an icon, this default icon is used. In the following example, the application includes a Microsoft App-V package, a Citrix XenApp package, a VMware ThinApp package, and a Windows Installer package.
Windows Installer packageWindows Installer package ( .msi ) that has been imported into the Application Catalog
App-V virtual packageMicrosoft App-V virtual package ( .sft or .appv ) that has been imported into the Application Catalog

MSIX packagesA Microsoft MSIX package (.msix).
Unresolved question overlayAn “!” overlay on an icon indicates that the package has an unresolved question with its associated files (or that one of an application’s deployment types has an unresolved question with its associated files). One or more files, transforms, or patch files associated with a package is either missing from the original import directory or its last modified date does not match the last modified date stored in the Application Catalog. When a package icon with this overlay is selected, a message appears in the view identifying the files in question and prompting you to take action to resolve the problem. For transforms, it is either missing from the original import directory or its last modified date does not match the last modified date stored in the Application Catalog.
Software Repository overlayThis overlay icon indicates that the package is managed within the Software Repository.
Checked out overlayThis overlay icon indicates that the package is managed within the Software Repository and is checked out.
