# Navigating the Applications Control Grid
## **View Installed Applications**
Installing the Faronics Deploy Agent on your computers will populate them in the console and display the version of the applications that are installed on them.
{% hint style="info" %}
Default: The Application view opens displaying computers that have one or more applications out-of-date**,** grouping the applications by type.
{% endhint %}
### View Computers by Online Only/All/Outdated Only
Use the drop-down menu button on the top left of the grid to view all computers, online computers only, or computers that have pending application updates.
### Grid Options
Use the **Grid Options** button on the top right to Group or Ungroup Applications, enable Search and Filter, and Hide Unused Apps.
{% hint style="info" %}
If the applications are grouped, select the **Group Name** to drill down to display the applications available in the group.
{% endhint %}
### Search and Select
The Search and Select feature enables you to search the names of the Windows Computers in the grid by a partial or full *Computer Name.* For example, if you wanted to select all the Computers that contain "*Desktop"* in their name, you would enter "*Desktop"* into the search field. The *Select* button would appear, which allows you to select all computers matching that criteria.
{% hint style="info" %}
Please note that if some Computers are online and others are offline, you must select either O*nline* or O*ffline* from the drop-down menu on the select button (this menu will not appear if all computers are in the same state).
{% endhint %}
### Search and Filter Applications
The Faronics Deploy Agent can retrieve a complete list of all installed applications on the computers. To view the installed applications list:
1\. Navigate to the **Analytics** section in the console.
2\. Select **Applications**>**Installed Applications**.
3\. Use the **Search Bar** or **the Search and Filter** option on the top right to filter by **Computer Name**, **Product Name**, **Version,** or **Publisher**. The example below searches for "adobe" in each field and highlights all matching results.
4\. To Search and Filter, click the **View Search and Filter** switch as shown below.
5\. Type what you wish to filter by in the search box(es) under **Computer Name**, **Product Name**, **Version**, **Publisher**. The example below filters by **Product Name** "Adobe".
### Filter the Computers by Policy
1\. Select the **Control Grid** tab on the top menu bar.
2\. Navigate to the **Applications** tab.
3\. Click on the **Policy** header on the grid; the **ACTION TOOLBAR** will now appear.
4\. Click the arrow buttons to toggle the order of the Policy column in the grid (A-Z 
, Z-A 
and back to original unsorted order 
).
{% hint style="success" %}
The list of Applications will now be filtered by Policy (either A-Z , Z-A , or back to original unsorted order depending on your selection).
{% endhint %}
