Installation and Setup Guide

You can drag and drop a server shortcut from the Horizon Client Servers window into another app, such
as Notes. The server shortcut appears as a URI in the other app, for example, vmware-view://server-
address. You can drag and drop a server address or URI from another app into the Servers window. You
can also use the drag and drop feature to reorder the server shortcuts on the Servers window.
After you connect to a server, you can drag and drop a remote desktop or application shortcut from the
Horizon Client desktop and application selection window or the Favorites window into another app, such
as Notes. The shortcut appears as a URI in the other app, for example, vmware-view://server-
name/item-name. You can also drag and drop a desktop or application URI from another app into the
desktop and application selection window, the Favorites window, or the Recent window.
For information about URI syntax, see Syntax for Creating vmware-view URIs.
This feature requires an iPad that is running iOS 11 or later.
Using the Horizon Client Widget
If you have an iOS 10 or later device, you can add the Horizon Client widget to the iOS device's Search
screen.
To add the Horizon Client widget to the Search screen, click Edit on the Search screen, tap the green
plus (+) button next to Horizon Client in the widget list, and click Done.
If you have never connected to a remote desktop or application, the Horizon Client widget displays No
desktop/application was launched yet. After you connect to a remote desktop or application, a
shortcut for the recently used remote desktop or application appears in the widget. You can tap this
shortcut to open the remote desktop or application from the Search screen.
If you have a 3D Touch-enabled device, the Horizon Client widget can appear in the quick action menu
when you apply pressure to the Horizon app on the iOS device's Home screen.
