Adding Items to a User’s Dock

You can add applications, folders, or documents to a user’s Dock for easy access.

Make sure you use consistent paths for items you add in the Dock. This is especially important if you add items in nonstandard locations (for example, putting an application in another folder besides /Applications). If the Dock item can’t be found, a question mark replaces the item in the user’s Dock.

To add items to a user’s Dock:

1In Workgroup Manager, click Preferences.

2Make sure the correct directory is selected and you are authenticated.

To switch directories, click the globe icon. If you are not authenticated, click the lock and enter the name and password of a directory domain administrator.

3Select one or more users, groups, computers, or computer groups.

4Click Dock and then click Dock Items.

5Set the management setting to Once or Always.

If you select Once, the user can add and remove Dock items. If you select Always, the user can’t remove items from the Dock.

6To add individual applications, folders, and documents to the Dock, click the Add (+) button to browse and select the item you want.

To remove a Dock item, select it and then click the Remove (–) button.

You can rearrange Dock items in the list by dragging them into the order in which you want them to appear. Applications are always grouped at one end, while folders and files are grouped at the other. User-added items are located after your listed applications.

7To add the My Applications folder, select My Applications.
