Enable the System Tray Application

When you enable the System Tray Application, you configure the appearance of the System Tray and the menu items available to your end users. For appearance and menu options, see System Tray Application options.

You can enable the System Tray Application across multiple devices or on a single device.

Changes to the System Application Tray icon and the tooltip don't take effect until the end user logs out and then back in to the device. We recommend you upload the custom icon and set the tooltip before you Enable the System Tray Application.

Enable the System Tray for multiple devices

  1. On the All Devices view, go to Settings > System Tray Application > Settings.
  2. Select the Entity type to apply the configuration to (all servers and workstations or servers and workstations at specific clients and sites).

    3. Feature status indicators (colored dots) in the Settings dialog indicate if the feature is enabled or disabled at the entity level, and whether devices under an entity have the same settings:

    • Green - Enabled for all devices under that entity including device level settings.
    • Grey - Disabled on at least one device under that entity including device level settings.
    • Orange – A child entities has a different configuration to the parent. If a Client only has one Site, its status indicator reflects that of the Site.

    For more information, see Feature and Functionality Settings Icons.

  3. Choose Setting: On or Use Parent where parent is On (only for Client or Site).
  4. Configure the System Tray settings that are described in System Tray Application Options.
  5. Select OK to save and apply.

Enable the System Tray for an individual device

You can enable the System Tray Application for specific servers and workstations, for example to exclude the device from the default entity policy or only apply the application on certain devices.

  1. On the All Devices view North-pane, right-click the target device and select Edit Server or Edit Workstation.
  2. Select System Tray.
  3. Choose the Setting: Off or Use Policy Setting (On).
  4. Configure the System Tray settings that are described in System Tray Application Options.
  5. Select OK to save and apply.

Once selected, device level settings take precedence over those set at the policy level. Where the device settings have changed, to place the device back under policy control select Use Policy Settings.
