DELL 1.3.0.0 User Manual

Using the Dell Wyse Configuration Manager (WCM) GUI 

This chapter discusses in detail how to use the WCM GUI Application that is 

installed on the Repository Server. You can create configuration files, edit 

existing configuration files, and save the configuration files in a central 

location. The thin client system connects to the central location and 

downloads the respective configurations. 

The WCM Application GUI is installed and available on the repository server. 

You must log in to the repository server as the administrator to launch and 

access the WCM Application GUI. The GUI consists of the following 

components:

• Configuration Explorer — Contains the Configurations tab that consists 

of the names of the areas you can configure for your configuration files. 

The names of the areas that you can configure are displayed as a tree 

structure with the main areas as the main nodes and the sub-areas as sub- 

nodes.

•

Toolbar — Contains icons that are located on top of the Configurations 

tab and can be used for the main nodes and sub-nodes in the 

Configurations tab. Each icon has a tool-tip description for easy 

identification. 

•

Right-click Menus — Provides easy access to perform the various tasks. 

You can right-click certain items on the 

Configurations tab to view the 

menu of the available tasks.

• Details  Pane  —  Displays the detailed configuration settings for the 

selected nodes and sub-nodes in the 

Configurations tab on the right pane 

of the GUI. You can modify these settings to create a new configuration 

file or edit an existing configuration file.

•

Menu Bar — Provides the various menu options for you to effectively use 

the WCM Application GUI.
