    Desktop: Places the icons on the device’s desktop.

    Quick Launch: Places the icons on the Quick Launch area of the Windows taskbar.

    Start Menu: Places the icons on the Start menu on all Windows devices except for Windows Vista and later. It places the icon in Start > All Programs on Windows Vista and later.

    System Tray: Places the icons in the system tray (notification area) of the Windows taskbar.

  6. Click Next to display the Schedules Page, then select the schedules you want to define. For information on schedules, see Step 5 in Assigning Existing Bundles to Devices.

  7. (Conditional) If you selected Distribution Schedule in Step 6, click Next to display the Bundle Distribution Schedule page.

    The distribution schedule defines the dates and times when the bundle is distributed from the ZENworks Server to the managed device. The default schedule (no schedule) causes the bundle to be distributed to the device when it is first launched.

  8. In the Schedule Type field, select one of the following schedules, then fill in the fields. Fore information, see Step 7 in Assigning Existing Bundles to Devices.

  9. Select the following options as desired:

    Wake on LAN: If the device is not on at the scheduled time, ZENworks attempts to use Wake on LAN (WoL) technology to power on the device. The device must support Wake on LAN.

    Install Immediately After Distribution: Performs any installation actions immediately after the bundle is distributed to the device.

    Launch Immediately After Installation: Performs any launch actions immediately after the bundle is installed. This option is available only if the Install Immediately After Distribution option is enabled.

  10. (Conditional) If you selected Launch Schedule in Step 6, click Next to display the Bundle Launch Schedule page.

    The launch schedule determines the dates and times when ZENworks Agent automatically launches the bundle. The default schedule (no schedule) results in the bundle only being launched if the user launches.

  11. In the Schedule Type field, select one of the following schedules, then fill in the fields. For information, see Step 10 in Assigning Existing Bundles to Devices.

  12. (Conditional) If you selected Availability Schedule in Step 6, click Next to display the Bundle Availability Schedule page.

    The availability schedule defines the dates and times when the bundle is available on the managed device. ZENworks Agent displays the bundle icon only during the times defined by the schedule. The default schedule (no schedule) makes the bundle available at all times.

    The schedule applies regardless of whether or not the bundle is installed. For example, if a user has not yet installed the bundle, it is only available for installation at the times specified by the schedule. If a user has already installed the bundle, it is only available for running during the scheduled times.

  13. In the Schedule Type field, select one of the following schedules, then fill in the fields. For information, see Step 12 in Assigning Existing Bundles to Devices.

  14. Click Next to display the Finish page, review the information and, if necessary, use the Back button to make changes to the information.
