Feature Support for Linux Clients Certain guest operating systems and remote desktop features require specific Horizon Agent versions. Use this information when planning which features to make available to your end users.
Share Local Folders and Drives With the client drive redirection feature, you can share folders and drives on the local client system with remote desktops and published applications.
Supported Languages The user interface and documentation are available in English, Japanese, French, German, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Korean, and Spanish.
Copying and Pasting Text You can copy and paste text to and from remote desktops and published applications. A Horizon administrator can configure this feature so that copy and paste operations are allowed only from the client system to a remote desktop or published application, or only from a remote desktop or published application to the client system, or both, or neither.
Saving Documents in a Published Application With certain published applications, such as Microsoft Word or WordPad, you can create and save documents. Where these documents are saved depends on your company's network environment. For example, your documents might be saved to a home share mounted on your local computer.
Using the Seamless Window Feature With the Seamless Window feature, you can interact with an application that is running on a remote desktop as if it was a locally running application.
Sharing Remote Desktop Sessions With the Session Collaboration feature, you can invite other users to join an existing remote desktop session. A remote desktop session that is shared in this way is called a collaborative session. The user that shares a session with another user is called the session owner, and the user that joins a shared session is called a session collaborator.
Use Multiple Sessions of a Published Application From Different Client Devices When an administrator has activated multi-session mode for a published application, you can use multiple sessions of the same published application when you log in to the server from different client devices.
Using the URL Content Redirection Feature A Horizon administrator can configure URL links that you click inside a remote desktop or published application to open in the default browser on the local client system. The URL link might be to a web page, a phone number, an email address, or another type of link. This feature is called URL Content Redirection.
