6. Enter Application in the option name field and select Dropdown as the option type.

   • APPLICATION_ID — The ID of an application on the SolusVM management server. To view application IDs, navigate to SolusVM’s Applications interface (SolusVM » Images » Applications) and locate the IDs of the applications you want to add as a configurable option.
   • APPLICATION_Name — The name of the application to display in WHMCS.

   In this example, options are added for WordPress on Plesk (APPLICATION_ID 1) and NGINX (APPLICATION_ID 7).

8. Repeat the previous step for each application you want to offer. Once finished, click Close Window.
