## **Overview**

This view lists other navigation bar items with short descriptions. You can click items here or in the navigation bar.

## **Publish from**

Lists hosts or host pools from which the desktop is published. Use the **Publish from** drop-down list to switch between individual hosts or host pools. Select or clear hosts or host pools as needed.

## **Desktop**

This view displays the published desktop settings. For the description of how to configure these settings, please see [**Publish a desktop**](https://docs.parallels.com/landing/ras-mp-guide/publishing/publish-a-desktop).

## **Filtering**

The settings in the **Filtering** view are not available in the publishing wizard and can only be set here. The settings are common for published resources of all types. For complete details, see [**Using filtering rules**](https://docs.parallels.com/landing/ras-mp-guide/publishing/manage-published-resources/using-filtering-rules).

## **Routing**

Please see [**Configuring preferred routing**](https://docs.parallels.com/landing/ras-mp-guide/publishing/manage-published-resources/configuring-preferred-routing).

## **Shortcuts**

This view allows you to configure where a shortcut for the published desktop is created on a user device. These settings are inherited from site defaults, but can be customized for a given published resource. For details, please see [**Site defaults (Publishing)**](https://docs.parallels.com/landing/ras-mp-guide/publishing/manage-published-resources/site-defaults-publishing).

If you made changes, click the **Save** button or click **Cancel** to discard them.
