Manage the View Connection Servers List
When you connect to a View server, Horizon View Client saves the server description or IP address and
user name to the View Connection Servers list on the Recent Connections screen. You can edit and remove
servers from this list.
Horizon View Client saves the server name or IP address to the View Connection Servers list, even if you
mistype the server name or type the wrong IP address. You can delete or change this information by editing
the View Connection Servers list. If you do not type a server description, the server name or IP address
becomes the server description.
Procedure
1 On the Recent Connections screen, tap the Cloud icon in the upper-right corner of the screen.
2 In the View Connection Servers list, touch and hold a server name until a context menu appears.
3 Use the menu to delete the server or edit the server name, server description, or user name.
