User manual

By default, you can copy and paste plain text between an Android device application and a remote
application. The clipboard can accommodate up to 64K characters for copy and paste operations.
To enable users to copy plain text between a remote application and an Android device application, you
must modify the PCoIP or VMware Blast group policy seing called  clipboard redirection on the
RDS host that hosts the remote application pool.
For information about conguring PCoIP and VMware Blast group policy seings, see the Seing Up Desktop
and Application Pools in View document.
Copying and Pasting Text and Images
By default, you can copy and paste plain text from your Android device to a remote desktop or application.
If a View administrator enables the feature, you can also copy and paste plain text from a remote desktop or
application to your Android device, or between two remote desktops or applications.
A View administrator can set this feature so that copy and paste operations are allowed only from your
Android device to a remote desktop or application, or only from a remote desktop or application to your
Android device, or both, or neither.
You can also copy and paste images and Rich Text Format (RTF) text, but the following restrictions apply:
n
You can copy and paste images and RTF text from your Android device to a remote desktop or
application. You cannot copy and paste images and RTF text from a remote desktop or application to
your Android device.
n
Only Google apps are supported. For example, you can copy and paste images and RTF text from
Google Docs, Gmail, Chrome, Google+, Google Hangouts, Google Calendar, Google Sheets, and Google
Slides.
n
You can copy and paste images only when your Android device can access the Google website.
n
If you select an image and RTF text (or plain text) together, the image is discarded and only the text is
copied and pasted. To copy and paste an image, you must select only the image.
n
A View administrator can use group policies to restrict clipboard formats during copy and paste
operations. The clipboard format lter policies for Microsoft Oce Chart and Smart Art data and
Microsoft Text Eects data are not supported. For information about clipboard format lter policies, see
the Seing Up Desktop and Application Pools in View document. Using Smart Policies to control copy and
paste behavior in remote desktops is not supported.
The clipboard can accommodate a maximum of 1 MB of data for copy and paste operations. If the text and
RTF data together use less than maximum clipboard size, the formaed text is pasted. Often the RTF data
cannot be truncated, so that if the text and formaing use more than the maximum clipboard size amount,
the RTF data is discarded, and plain text is pasted. If you are unable to paste all of the formaed text you
selected in one operation, you might need to copy and paste smaller amounts in each operation.
Saving Documents in a Remote Application
With certain remote applications, such as Microsoft Word or WordPad, you can create and save documents.
Where these documents are saved depends on your company's network environment. For example, your
documents might be saved to a home share mounted on your local computer.
Administrators can use an ADMX template le to set a group policy that species where documents are
saved. This policy is called "Set Remote Desktop Services User Home Directory." For more information, see
the "RDS Proles Seings" topic in the Seing Up Desktop and Application Pools in View document.
