You can use a virtual application template to create a virtual application.

Before you begin

   3. To add a policy, click the Add policy for application icon.
   4. To create the connection between the parts, hover over one of the objects until the blue circle turns orange. Select the circle with the left mouse button, drag a connection to the second object until the object is highlighted, and release the mouse button.
