How to Perform Some Common Desktop Tasks in Trusted Extensions

    Some common tasks are affected by labels and security. In particular, the following tasks are affected by Trusted Extensions:

  • Emptying the trash

  • Finding calendar events

  1. Empty the trash.

    Click mouse button 3 over the Trash Can icon on the desktop. Choose Empty Trash, then confirm.


    Note - The trash can contains files only at the label of the workspace. Delete sensitive information as soon as the information is in the trash can.
  2. Find calendar events at every label.

    Calendars show only the events at the label of the workspace that opened the calendar.

    • In a multilevel session, open your calendar from each workspace that has a different label.
    • In a single-level session, log out. Then, log in at a different label to view the calendar events at that label.
  3. Save a customized desktop at every label.

    You can customize the workspace configuration for every label at which you log in.

    1. Configure the desktop.

      Note - Users can save desktop configurations. Roles cannot save desktop configurations.
      1. From the Main menu, click System > Preferences > Appearance.
      2. Arrange windows, establish the font size, and perform other customizations.
    2. To save the current desktop, click the Main menu.
      1. Click System > Preferences > Startup Applications.
      2. Click the Options tab.
      3. Click Remember Currently Running Applications, then close the dialog box.

      Your desktop is restored in this configuration when you next log in at this label.
