HotSpot Schemes

A collection of individual HotSpots grouped together and then named is called a scheme of HotSpots. You can apply a scheme to as many display sessions as you choose. This is different than an individual HotSpot, which can only be applied to the session in which it is created.

You can also apply a scheme to an individual host screen. Whenever you access that host - regardless of the navigation method used - the HotSpot scheme you specify will be automatically enabled.
