# 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Default: The Application view opens displaying computers that have one or more applications out-of-date**,** grouping the applications by type.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### View Computers by Online Only/All/Outdated Only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

### 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).
