You can control the specific managed objects for which a user of Operations Sentinel Console can launch an external application.
The Object Filter property allows you to match managed objects to an external application using a filter. For every managed object the filter matches, you can launch the external application for it from tables and topologies.
When defining managed objects, this property also designates which objects appear in the drop-down list of default external applications you can choose from when setting the Default Action property.
A new launch definition by default has no filter conditions; the Object Filter property value displays < None >. This means that a user cannot launch the external application from any managed object. In contrast, when a launch definition has one or more filter conditions but all of them are disabled, the Object Filter property value appears blank. This also means that a user cannot launch the external application from any managed object.

In the navigation pane, select the External Applications node and then select the desired launch definition(s) in the display pane.
