Right-click on an application tile to display options available to you. You can favorite, edit, Autolaunch, rename, repair, report, or remove applications.
Options will differ depending on application configuration, meaning if it is local or from the catalog, or if Repair is enabled.

 |
Edit | Opens the Edit link dialog box, where you can edit the details of a personal app. |
 |
Autolaunch | Enable Autolaunch for a managed app, and add it to the Autolaunch filter in the Side Menu. This feature is enabled by default for the Application Workspace Launcher. If it's not working for the web interface, contact your system administrator to configure it for you. |

Repair | Displayed after you click an icon to run an action on your device, e.g. copying files or launching an .exe file. It is not displayed for apps that open in the browser.
