The Application shortcuts section allows you to modify the following settings:

• Group according to connections. By default, when you connect to Parallels RAS for the first time, you will be offered to create a folder containing the shortcuts to all remote applications published for your user account.

  If you agree, the "Shortcuts" folder appears on the desktop of your Android device. Open it and tap the application you want to work with - Parallels Client will automatically establish a RAS connection and launch the selected app.

  If you have more than one RAS connection and Group according to connections is enabled, app shortcuts are displayed in sub-folders according to connections.
• Recreate "Shortcuts" folder. If you removed the "Shortcuts" folder and need it again, tap this option to recreate the folder.

When a policy is applied to your device, tap View applied policy to see the information about it. This information can be used to verify that the correct policy was delivered. It includes:

• ID: The policy ID as displayed in the ID field in the Policies list in the RAS Console.

• Version: The policy version number as displayed in the Version field in the Policies list in the RAS Console.

• RAS Connection: The name of the connection through which the policy was delivered.

By comparing the information above in Parallels Client and the information in the RAS Console, RAS administrators can see which policy was applied to a user device.

The Troubleshooting section allows you to modify the following settings:

• Use detailed log messages. If you have any issues with Parallels Client and decided to send technical data to your Remote Application Server administrator, select Use detailed log messages before sending the data. The administrator will receive a more detailed log file and spend less time to fix the issue. It is not recommended that you keep this option enabled all the time - Parallels Client may start working slower.
