To show or hide columns, click Select Columns and set or clear the respective checkboxes.

By default, 20 templates are displayed on a page. To change the number of templates shown per page, click the appropriate link below the table. You can also filter the templates shown in the Templates table. To do that, click Show Search, enter search patterns in the search fields, and click Search. To change what search fields are displayed, click Customize. To view all application templates installed on the physical server, click Reset Results.

With the help of the Virtuozzo Automator toolbar you can perform the following operations on application templates:

  • Upload a new template that you have locally and install it on a physical server registered in Virtuozzo Automator (the New App/OS Template button).

  • Install an OS template present on this physical server to other physical servers registered in Virtuozzo Automator (the Install to HNs button).

  • Select some templates in the table and add them to one or more virtual environments of the given physical server (the Add to Containers button).

  • Delete those application templates that are not needed any more. To this effect, select the check boxes opposite the application templates you wish to delete and click the Uninstall button.

  • Update the selected templates with the latest packages from the Virtuozzo update repository (the Update button).

Clicking an application template name opens the screen where you can view the detailed information on it.
