User manual

NOTE To use the Unity Touch feature with View 5.3.x desktops, the Remote Experience Agent must be
installed on the desktops. If you have the Remote Experience Agent installed but want to turn off this
feature, you can set a registry value on the remote desktop.
If users have a floating desktop, users’ favorite applications and files can be saved only if Windows roaming
user profiles are configured for the desktop. Administrators can create a default Favorite Applications list
that end users see the first time the sidebar appears.
For Connection Server 5.3.x servers, see the View Feature Pack Installation and Administration document. For
Connection Server 6.0 and later servers, see the Setting Up Desktop and Application Pools in View document.
Using the Unity Touch Sidebar with a Remote Application
You can quickly navigate to a remote application from a Unity Touch sidebar. From this sidebar, you can
launch applications, switch between running applications, and minimize, maximize, restore, or close remote
applications. You can also switch to a remote desktop.
When you access a remote application, the Unity Touch sidebar appears on the left side of the screen. If the
Unity Touch sidebar is closed, a tab appears on the left side of the screen. You can swipe this tab to the right
to reopen the sidebar. You can also slide the tab up or down.
NOTE You can use remote applications only if you are connected to Connection Server 6.0 or later.
