Application Chooser Overview

The Application Chooser provides a user interface within which you can view and manage installed applications in Junos Space. Application Chooser appears when you first log in to the system.

Application Chooser also contains shortcuts to frequently used workspaces. For example from Application Chooser, you can jump directly to the devices and users workspaces without having to click the Network Application Platform icon and the Devices or Users workspace icons in the navigation ribbon.

Applications are represented as icons that display in two views: thumbnail and carousel. In thumbnail view, application icons are arranged in a tiled format in the workspace. In carousel view, the icons rotate three-dimensionally in a circular manner.

New applications will be added in subsequent software releases.

Mouse over an application to view its title and description. Double-click an application icon to launch it and navigate to its dashboard.

Filter application icons by those newest first, alphabetically, and custom criteria using the Sorted by link.

Add or remove applications from Application Chooser using the + icon in the actions toolbar at the bottom right.

Figure 1 shows the parts of Application Chooser.
