Packs Page

The Packs page of the Administration perspective provides the managing functionality for Plugin Manager packages in your AWI instance. Currently supported Plugins are known as Packs. These Plugins consist of Automation Engine objects and may also contain AWA specific objects.

In order to be able to see and use the Packs page you have to install the Plugin Manager for that AWI instance.
