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 App 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 residing on your physical servers, 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).
Select some templates in the table and install them on one or more Virtuozzo Automator physical servers at once (the Install to HNs button).
Select some templates in the table and add them to one or more virtual environments (the Add to Containers button).
Note
For a template to be added to a container, it first should be installed on the physical server where the container is hosted.
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 from HNs button.
Clicking an application template name opens the screen where you can view the detailed information on it.
