Property Management Tab
The Property Management tab lists the applications added to the SPMS database. Added applications are shown on the panel for quick access. In addition to that, the added applications will be checked by SPMS clients to ensure that the latest version of the applications are distributed to the client machine. You can add applications to the SPMS database through the Launch Panel by using the Add Function or through the F12 function key to bring up the application upload form. Adding applications to SPMS database would require SPMS Administrator login privilege.
