Webtop Sections

At your option, you can override the default display for resources on a full webtop by organizing resources into user-defined sections. A webtop section specifies a caption, a list of resources that can be included in the section, and a display order for the resources. The order in which to display webtop sections is also configurable.

  1. Create a webtop section

  2. Specify resources for a webtop section

By default, resources display on a webtop in these sections: Applications and Links, and Network Access. Within the sections, resources display in alphabetical order.
