Programs: Applications

Use this page to specify which applications you want to allow on Palm* OS* devices configured in the policy, and which applications you want to automatically remove from the devices.

Applications to Allow on the Handheld or Remove from the Handheld
Lets you specify applications and assign either a Remove or Allow rule for each application.

The name of the application must match the file properties name (the name displayed in the Application Launcher screen may not be the actual filename). To determine the actual filename, you might need a third-party application (such as FileZ, a shareware application).

Application
Lists the applications that you want to allow on the device or remove from the device. To add an application to the list, click Add.

Rule
Displays the rule for the corresponding application: Allow or Remove.

You can perform the following tasks in this page:

• Add an application to the Application list
• Edit an application displayed in the Application list
• Delete an application from the Application list
• Remove all other applications from the handheld device
• Search for applications on storage cards

Adding an Application to the Application List

1. Click Add.
2. In the Edit Application dialog box, enter or browse to the application in the Database field.
   When you browse application inventory, ZENworks Handheld Management inventory displays all applications, regardless of whether they reside in ROM or RAM. Be sure to enter the name of the application exactly as it appears in the Palm file system, then choose the appropriate option.
3. If you want to allow users to install that application on associated devices, choose Allow the Application on the Handheld.
4. If you want ZENworks^® Handheld Management to remove that application from the associated devices, choose Remove the Application.
   When users synchronize the devices, ZENworks Handheld Management will remove the application from each device.
5. Click OK.

Editing an Application

1. From the Application list, select the application whose name or rule you want to modify.
2. Click Edit.
3. In the Edit Application list, modify the required settings.
4. Click OK.

Deleting an Application from the List

1. From the Application list, select the application you want to delete.
2. Click Delete.

   Note: If you browsed application inventory when you added applications to the Application list, some listed applications may reside in ROM; you cannot delete applications from ROM.

Removing All Other Applications from the Handheld
Rather than selecting certain applications to be removed from the device, you might find it easier to do the following:

1. Specify a set list of allowed applications
2. Select the "Remove All Other Applications from the Handheld" option.

When the policy reaches its scheduled run time or when the user synchronizes the device, all applications not listed in the Applications list with the Allow rule set will be removed from the device.

Searching for Applications on Storage Cards

1. Select the "Search for Applications on Storage Cards (is applicable)".

ZENworks Handheld Management supports storage cards in Palm OS devices running Palm OS 4.x and newer. Storage cards are usually referred to as secure digital (SD) cards, expansion cards, or memory sticks.
