Installation and Setup Guide

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 field. For example, to find a remote desktop named Win 2008 RDS Desktop,
you might type Win or RDS.
To use Spotlight search to find your favorite remote desktops and applications, type favorite in the
Spotlight search field. To search for any remote desktop or application, type vmware or horizon in the
Spotlight search field. 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.
Using Split View and Slide Over with Horizon Client
You can use Split View and Slide Over with Horizon Client on any iPad model that supports Split View
and Slide Over and is running iOS 9 or later.
With Split View and Slide Over, you can open Horizon Client and another app at the same time. You can
run Horizon Client as either the primary app or the secondary app.
If you rotate your device or slide the vertical divider that separates the primary and secondary apps,
Horizon Client automatically adjusts to fit the size of the window. If you are connected to a remote
desktop, the remote desktop automatically adjusts to fit the size of the window if the Resolution setting is
set to Auto - Fit. For information about setting the resolution for a remote desktop, see Changing the
Display Resolution Setting.
Note Horizon Client does not support Picture in Picture.
Using the iPad Split Keyboard with Horizon Client
You can use the iPad onscreen keyboard in split mode with Horizon Client when you connect to a server
and when you are working in a remote desktop. This feature is supported on any iPad model that
supports the split keyboard feature.
To split the onscreen keyboard, tap inside a text field, touch and hold the Keyboard key in the lower-right
corner of the onscreen keyboard, and tap Split. To merge a split keyboard, tap Merge.
When the onscreen keyboard is in split mode, the space between the two parts of the onscreen keyboard
is transparent.
Note When the onscreen keyboard is in split mode, the accessory key bar is not available. To make the
accessory key bar available, you must merge the keyboard.
Using Drag and Drop with Shortcuts and URIs
You can drag and drop server, desktop, and application shortcuts and URIs.
