Is it possible to group icons in Horizon View Client into folders?

My apologies ahead of time, but I come from a Citrix background.  I hadn't worked with View since it's early days.  I recently stood up a Horizon View 6 lab and am extremely impressed with it's functionality and Administration.  View has come along way and VMware has done a great job with this release!!

Couple of questions though . . .

  • Is it possible to group icons in Horizon View Client into folders (as can be done with Citrix Web Interface)?
    • Such as Win7 Desktops, MS Office, Utilities, etc
  • I didn't see any way to enable HTML Access to an Application Pool, is that possible?

Thanks in Advance!

I did some further digging on this and came across a couple of other older Forum postings:

Would appreciate confirmation or clarification/correction on whether or not the following is still true with the most recent release:

(Note: I did read the latest release notes I could find View Release Notes)

Current limitations of Horizon View HTML5 Access:

  • Does not support Hosted Apps (Application Pools).  Only supports Desktop Pools.
  • Not supported on connections to physical desktops; desktops must be virtual.
  • No USB Redirection or Printer mapping support.

Current limitations of Horizon View Client:

  • Apparently, no way to group icons into folders (even if integrating with Horizon Workspace)
  • USB Redirection and ThinPrint not supported with Hosted Applications

Thanks again!

Hi,

Did you get this sorted out? Group the RDSH apps on the Client?

Ty.

It is not currently possible but we are investigating the feature given that we have heard this request from several customers. I can’t provide any committed date though.
