Setup applications

You can configure a set of terminal profiles. Each profile contains a number of applications that a user can start. One profile can be assigned to many terminals. When TrueCafe Client starts, it loads a terminal profile and displays a tab set with applications. A user can run any application by double-clicking on an application icon.

Use the "Profiles" tab of the "Terminals" window to configure terminal profiles:

Set a tab name, a name and a start path (command line) for each application. You can use URL, email, shortcut (.lnk file), Internet-shortcut (.url file), document (.txt.doc.xls, etc. file) as an application path.

You can setup the alternative paths if the application has different paths on different terminals. Leave the path empty to hide the application on a particular terminal.

Use the "Designer" window to change the positions of application icons on the screen and the size of application pane.
