The Montage Launcher is a desktop application that provides a clean interface for managing activities. It also supports digital ecosystems, like Virtuoso, by functioning as a local server for ecosystem applications to handle orchestration and other complexities. When ecosystems issue requests to the Montage Launcher, the Montage Launcher displays a popup in the lower right hand corner of the screen, above the task tray, to alert the user that the Montage Launcher is being used.
The Montage Launcher desktop application's view is organized with 9 tabs along the left, as shown below. These tabs are detailed in the sections that follow.
