Remote Application Server Connection

When connected to a remote server via a Remote Application Server connection, Parallels Client shows the App Launcher screen. On this screen, you can find all the applications published for the user you used to connect to the remote server.

Here's what you can do on the App Launcher screen:

Launch an application

To launch an application, just tap its icon. If you launched an app, read this topic to learn how to use Application Toolbar.

Note: If a remote application is temporarily unavailable (e.g., your system administrator is installing updates, backing up the data, etc.), its icon will be grayed out. You can tap this app to get a message with more details or contact the administrator for information.

Search for applications

If there's a lot of applications, use the Looking glass icon in the top right corner of the screen to find the application you need.

Select favorite applications

When an application is added to favorites, you are able to quickly access it on the Favorites tab.

To add an application to favorites:

1. Long press the icon of the application that you want to add to favorites. A context menu will appear.

2. In the context menu, tap the Add to Favorites option.

The application will appear on the Favorites tab.

To remove an application from favorites:

1. Long press the icon of the application that you want to remove from favorites. A context menu will appear.
