This section is largely an exercise for the user as each type of application has different required fields, and the contents will be specific to each users environment.

  6. [Optional] select the Display Options configuration pane and provide an icon for your app. This icon will be displayed on the "Apps" page of clusters, spaces and virtual clusters.

  7. [Optional] select the Display Options configuration pane, from the Recommended App drop down box, select one of the choices. This choice affects where the App will show up as "recommended" in the UI.
