Installation and Setup Guide

Using Peek and Pop with the Horizon app
You can Peek at the Horizon app on your iOS device Home screen to show a quick action menu. On the
quick action menu, you can tap the Connect to Most Recent Server item to quickly connect to the most
recently used server. If a recent server does not exist, you can tap the Connect to Most Recent Server
item to add a new server.
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 off, 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 Settings at the bottom of the Horizon Client window, tap
Touch, and toggle the Peek for the menu setting to on. If you are connected to a remote desktop or
application, you can access settings by tapping the Settings (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.
