You can use the Horizon Console user-interface features to navigate Horizon Pages and to find, filter, and sort Horizon objects.

Horizon Console includes many common user interface features. For example, the navigation pane on the left side of each page directs you to other Horizon Console pages. The search filters let you select filtering criteria that are related to the objects you are searching for.

The following table describes a few additional features that can help you to use Horizon Console.

Table 1. Horizon Console Navigation and Display Features
Horizon Console Feature Description
Navigating backward and forward in Horizon Console pages Click your browser's Back button to go to the previously displayed Horizon Console page. Click the Forward button to return to the current page.

If you click the browser's Back button while you are using a Horizon Console wizard or dialog box, you return to the main Horizon Console page. The information you entered in the wizard or dialog is lost.

Bookmarking Horizon Console pages You can bookmark Horizon Console pages in your browser.
Multicolumn sorting You can sort Horizon objects in a variety of ways by using multicolumn sorting.

Click a heading in the top row of a Horizon Console table to sort the Horizon objects in alphabetical order based on that heading.

To sort the Horizon objects by a secondary item, Ctrl+click another heading.

You can continue to Ctrl+click to sort all the columns in a table in descending order of importance.

Press Ctrl+Shift and click to deselect a sort item.

Customizing table columns You can customize the display of Horizon Console table columns by hiding selected columns and locking the first column. This feature lets you control the display of large tables that contain many columns.

Right-click any column header to display a context menu that lets you take the following actions:

  • Hide the selected column.
  • Customize columns. A dialog displays all columns in the table. You can select the columns to display or hide.
  • Lock the first column. This option forces the left-hand column to remain displayed as you scroll horizontally across a table with many columns.
Selecting Horizon objects and displaying Horizon object details In Horizon Console tables that list Horizon objects, you can select an object or display object details.
  • To select an object, click anywhere in the object's row in the table. At the top of the page, menus and commands that manage the object become active.
  • To display object details, double-click the left cell in the object's row. A new page displays the object's details.

For example, on the Inventory > Desktops page, click anywhere in an individual pool's row to activate commands that affect the pool.

Double-click the ID cell in the left column to display a new page that contains details about the pool.

Expanding dialog boxes to view details You can expand Horizon Console dialog boxes to view details such as desktop names and user names in table columns.

To expand a dialog box, place your mouse over the dots in the lower right corner of the dialog box and drag the corner.

Displaying context menus for web browser operations on Horizon objects You can right-click Horizon objects in Horizon Console tables to display context menus to perform web browser operations such as opening the object in another tab or window.
