screen contains shortcuts to the servers that you added to Horizon Client.
The default view you selected takes effect immediately.
Configure AirWatch to Deliver Horizon Client to Mobile Devices
You can configure AirWatch to deliver Horizon Client to mobile device users. You can optionally specify a
default list of Connection Server instances. The Connection Server instances that you specify appear as
shortcuts in Horizon Client.
If your mobile device users use both the ARM and x86 versions of Horizon Client, you must decide which
version of Horizon Client to deploy with the AirWatch console. The AirWatch console cannot deploy both
the ARM and the x86 version at the same time.
