Add Console Item Wizard

Add Console Item Wizard - Overview

This topic is under construction.

Use the Add Console Item Wizard to add your favorite files to the Console Items Panel. You can add console items such as word processing documents, spreadsheets, data bases, executable programs (.exe), and Crystal Reports.

For additional information, click More.

Tips:

When you add a console item from within EMS, it appears only on the Executive Console, not on the application's User Console.

However, when you add a console item from within an application, it appears on the Executive Console and on the open application module's User Console.
An added console item is copied to your server location, and the original file remains unchanged. For example, if you add a Word document and subsequently open it from a console to make changes, the original document remains unmodified.
To add NDS application reports, processes, and auto notify items to the Executive Console and the User Consoles, use the Job Console within the appropriate application.
For general information about using wizards, see the Wizard - Introduction.
