Opening an application using links

If you have created a bookmark to an application, simply click the bookmark to open the application. In addition, the first time you open an application, a Notes application icon is added to your workspace. You can double click this icon to open an application.

When an application has been moved

If you click a bookmark or link to open an application that has been moved to another server, you will be redirected to the correct server and the bookmark or link will also be updated to reflect the new server name.
