AppV_Manage Introduction

AppV_Manage Introduction

AppV_Manage is the tool of choice for people packaging in App-V 5 for performing the initial tests on recently sequenced packages.  It is used on an App-V client test machine, and requires no back-end servers (although a file share where the packages are stored is typically used).   You sequence, copy the package up to the share, and bounce over to the client to test.

Here is a look at the tool.

Resizing the interface

The tool window is re-sizable overall by dragging an outer edge or corner. 

On may of the displays, such as the one above, you may see a horizontal or vertical bar that separates two panels.  You may drag the bar to change the size of those panels when desired.

Items with a table display (such as the top panel above) can be further manipulated by dragging the separator in between column headings.

A few places, such as the lower detail panel in the image above, support copying of text (such as the GUIDs) to the clipboard for pasting into other tools.
