Add a Desktop or Application Shortcut to the Android Home Screen
You can use a desktop or application shortcut to add a shortcut for your Android home screen.
N This feature is not available on Kindle Fire devices.
Prerequisites
Connect to the remote desktop or application at least once from the device so that a shortcut for the desktop
or application appears on the Recent tab.
If you have not logged in at least once, familiarize yourself with the procedure “Connect to a Remote
Desktop or Application,” on page 32.
Procedure
1 On the Recent tab, touch and hold the shortcut.
Add To Home appears at the boom of the window.
2 Drag the shortcut to Add To Home.
3 Type a name for the shortcut and tap OK.
If the name is longer than 12 characters, the extra characters do not appear on the Android home screen.
Manage Server Shortcuts
After you connect to a server, Horizon Client creates a server shortcut. You can edit and remove server
shortcuts.
Horizon Client saves the server name or IP address in a shortcut, even if you mistype the server name or
type the wrong IP address. You can delete or change this information by editing the server name or IP
address. If you do not type a server description, the server name or IP address becomes the server
description.
Server shortcuts can appear on multiple pages and you can swipe across pages to see more shortcuts.
Horizon Client creates new pages, as needed, to accommodate all of your server shortcuts.
Procedure
1 On the Servers tab, touch and hold the server shortcut until the context menu appears.
2 Use the context menu to delete the server or edit the server name, server description, or user name.
You can also remove a credential that was saved for ngerprint authentication by tapping Remove
Credential.
