Version: Specifies the plug-in version.
File Location: Specifies whether the plug-in is available locally (tomcat\webapps\nps\packages\ by default) or via download.

: Clicking this icon displays the plug-in information such as, supported platforms, recommended versions, change logs, build number, and other miscellaneous information.
The following tasks are available from the Content frame's task bar:
Add: Adds a plug-in to the available plug-in list. You must specify, or browse to, the NPM file you want to add to the list.
Install: Installs the selected plug-ins into your iManager environment.
IMPORTANT: If you select at least one plug-in that has the File Location as NetIQ Downloads for installation, the NetIQ iManager Plug-in Modules License Agreement page is displayed. Select I Agree and click OK to proceed with the installation.
A status window appears, confirming successful installation. After installation, you must restart Tomcat for the new plug-in to be available.
Remove: Removes a local NPM from the available plug-in list.
Refresh: Updates the available plug-in list.
NOTE: If you do not use the Refresh button, iManager automatically checks with the NetIQ Download Site once in a week for an updated plug-in list.
Hide: Hides the selected NetIQ plug-in modules. You can also hide all the plug-in modules so that the Home page doesn't display the "New iManager NPMs are available to install notice.
Note: If a newer version of a particular plug-in module that is hidden is available for download, by default, the current hidden plug-in module is deleted and the newer plug-in module appears in the Available NetIQ Plug-in Modules page.
If you want to hide the newer plug-in module, select it and click Hide.
Show Hidden: Displays a list of the hidden NetIQ plug-in modules. To unhide plug-in modules, select them and click OK. The plug-in modules appear in the Available NetIQ Plug-in Modules page.
