Administrator Guide

Using Action Center
Action center puts important notications from Windows and your applications right on the taskbar, along with quick actions, which get you
to your most-used settings and applications instantly.
To view your notications and quick actions, click the Action center icon on the taskbar. You can also press Windows logo key + A.
• Notications at a glance: When a notication appears on your desktop or when you view it in action center, expand it to read more or
take action without having to open the related application. You can also clear the notication by selecting and dragging it o screen to
the right, or by selecting the close button.
• Quick Action icons: Quick Action icons allow you to access All Settings and applications you are likely to use often, from Bluetooth to
VPN. When you open action center you will see all your available quick actions. Select the Expand option to see the settings and
applications, which is used more often.
The following are the Quick Action options in the Action Center:
– Tablet Mode: Tablet mode makes Windows easier and more intuitive to use with touch on devices such as 2–in–1s, or when you do
not want to use a keyboard and mouse. To turn on tablet mode, click the Action Center icon on the taskbar, and then select Tablet
Mode.
– Connect: Use this option to connect to your wireless and bluetooth devices.
– All Settings: Use this option to quickly congure some common windows settings. For more information, see Using the Start Menu.
– VPN: Use this option to open the Network & Internet window and add or congure a VPN connection.
– Quiet hours: Click this option, if you do not want to receive any notications in the action center.
Grouping Applications into Desktops
Create virtual desktops, to group your applications together. In the taskbar, click the Task View icon, and then in the New Desktop, open
the applications you need.
To move applications between virtual desktops, click Task View, and then drag the application you want from one desktop to another.
Before Conguring your Thin Clients
Unied Write Filter Utility and NetXClean Utility are meant to protect your thin clients. These utilities prevent your thin client congurations
from persisting after logo and restart. The local settings and prole congurations you change are removed by utilities. These utilities
prevent undesired ash memory writes and clean-up extraneous information from being stored on the local disk.
However, there are instances where administrators want congurations to persist even after logo and restarting a thin client.
NOTE
: To congure and manage multiple thin clients, see Dell Cloud Client Computing.
Brief Introduction about NetXClean Utility
NetXClean is a clean-up that keeps extraneous information from being stored on the local disk. If you want to retain certain prole
congurations such as printers, monitors and other peripherals, be sure to congure NetXClean in order to refrain from cleaning up explicitly
declared proles.
For more information, see Understanding the NetXClean Utility.
