Installation and Setup Guide

After you connect to a remote desktop or application, Horizon Client adds a shortcut to the desktop or
application to the quick action menu. For example, if you connect to a remote desktop named Win7,
Horizon Client adds Connect to Win7. You can tap a shortcut to quickly connect a remote desktop or
application. The Horizon icon quick action menu can contain up to three shortcuts.
Using Peek and Pop Inside Horizon Client
On the desktop and application selection window, you can Peek at a remote desktop or application to show
a quick action menu. You can tap items in the quick action menu to connect, log o, mark a favorite, and
perform other actions, depending on the remote desktop or application. You can also Pop into a remote
desktop or application to connect to it.
Quick action menus are also available on the Servers, Recent, and Favorites windows. For example, on the
Servers window, you can Peek at a saved server and tap items in the quick action menu to edit, remove, or
connect to the server. On the Recent window, you can Peek at a remote desktop or application shortcut and
tap items in the quick action menu to remove the shortcut or connect to the desktop or application. You can
also Pop into a saved server or remote desktop or application shortcut to connect to it.
Enabling Peek for the Horizon Client Tools
By default, the Horizon Client Tools radial menu icon appears in the middle of the window when you are
connected to a remote desktop or application. You tap the radial menu icon to expand the menu and display
icons for each tool, which you tap to select. For pictures of the radial menu icon and tools icons, see
Table 4-6.
If you enable Peek for the Horizon Client Tools, the Horizon Client Tools radial menu icon does not appear.
To display the icons for each tool, press deeply on any place on the window.
To enable Peek for the Horizon Client Tools, tap  at the boom of the Horizon Client window, tap
Touch, and toggle the Peek for the menu seing to on. If you are connected to a remote desktop or
application, you can access seings by tapping the  (gear) icon in the Horizon Client Tools radial
menu.
Using Spotlight Search with Horizon Client
You can use Spotlight search on iOS 9 and later devices to search for and connect to remote desktops and
applications.
When you log in to a server in Horizon Client, the remote desktops and applications on the server are added
to the Spotlight index. Only the remote desktops and applications on the last server to which you logged in
are indexed.
To use Spotlight search to search for a particular remote desktop or application, type its name or a partial
name in the Spotlight search eld. For example, to nd a remote desktop named Win 2008 RDS Desktop,
you might type Win or RDS.
To use Spotlight search to nd your favorite remote desktops and applications, type favorite in the
Spotlight search eld. To search for any remote desktop or application, type vmware or horizon in the
Spotlight search eld. The search results can contain up to 10 items.
To connect to a remote desktop or application, tap its name in the search results. If you are not currently
connected to the server, the Horizon Client login window appears and you can log in.
