Users can run the Horizon desktops or applications to which they are entitled from the Workspace ONE portal or app.
Based on how an application or desktop has been configured in Horizon, it can be launched in Horizon Client or in a browser. For applications or desktops that can only be launched in Horizon Client, users must install Horizon Client on their systems. For applications and desktops that can be launched in either Horizon Client or a browser, users can select the launch method.
Users can also set their default launch preference in the Preferences page in the Workspace ONE portal. This user preference overrides any default launch preference set at the administrator level.
Prerequisites
- Based on how the application or desktop has been configured in Horizon, users might need to install Horizon Client. For supported Horizon Client versions, see the VMware Product Interoperability Matrix at http://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/sim/interop_matrix.php.
- If you integrate Horizon 7.13 or later versions with Workspace ONE Access, end users always see the option in Intelligent Hub to launch applications and desktops in a browser. However, if HTML Access is not installed on the Horizon Connection servers, browser launch fails. For Horizon 7.13 and later versions, you must install HTML Access on the Horizon Connection servers. See the VMware Horizon HTML Access documentation for information.
Procedure
Results
If you chose the Browser option, the application or desktop is started in a browser. If you are using Horizon 6.1.1 or later, the browser window also displays an HTML Access Tray.
