Configuring Unity Touch
With Unity Touch, tablet and smart phone users can easily browse, search, and open Windows
applications and files, choose favorite applications and files, and switch between running applications, all
without using the Start menu or Taskbar. You can configure a default list of favorite applications that
appear in the Unity Touch sidebar.
You can disable or enable the Unity Touch feature after Horizon Agent is installed by configuring the
Enable Unity Touch group policy setting in the Horizon Agent Configuration ADMX template file
(vdm_agent.admx).
The VMware Horizon Client documents for iOS, Android, and Chrome OS devices provide more
information about the end user features provided by Unity Touch.

version requirements to support Unity Touch.

Configure Favorite Applications Displayed by Unity Touch
With the Unity Touch feature, tablet and smart phone users can quickly navigate to a Horizon 7 desktop
application or file from a Unity Touch sidebar. Although end users can specify which favorite applications
appear in the sidebar, for added convenience, administrators can configure a default list of favorite
applications.
If you use floating-assignment desktop pools, the favorite applications and favorite files that end users
specify will be lost when they disconnect from a desktop unless you enable roaming user profiles in
Active Directory.
