Chapter 6 Using the Toolboxes to Run Applications

Table of Contents

The toolboxes are containers for applications and utilities.

Figure 6-1 The toolboxes contain icons representing applications and utilities.

There are three toolboxes:

Personal Toolbox: Your personally-configurable toolbox. You can create actions yourself or copy them from other toolboxes.
General Toolbox: Contains applications and utilities built into HP VUE or provided by your system administrator.
Network Toolbox: Lets you access actions on other systems.

The toolboxes are based on File Manager. You can think of the toolboxes as File Manager views of special directories set aside for applications and utilities. However, within a toolbox, you cannot go up past the top level of the toolbox, which is represented in the status line by /.../.

The toolboxes contain action icons. Each application or utility is represented by an icon called an action icon. Actions and their icons are HP VUE's way of creating a visual representation for applications, utilities, and other commands.
