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 have this option enabled all the time - Parallels Client may start working slower.
Note: You cannot configure this option if it is centrally managed by your system administrator using Parallels RAS policies.
The General section allows you to modify the following settings:
Keep Device Awake. If you're connected to a remote server and this option is enabled, your mobile device won't switch to sleep mode after some interval of user inactivity.

Run in Background. When you switch to another application after working with Parallels Client, iOS suspends inactive app and your connection with the remote server is lost. Enable this option to allow Parallels Client to run in the background.
The User Input section allows you to modify the following settings:
Swap Mouse Buttons. Enable this option to swap the mouse buttons on the remote server.
Enable Touch Mode in Microsoft Office. Use this option to enable or disable Touch Mode in Microsoft Office applications.
Use Swiftpoint GT Mouse. Enable this option to work with remote desktops and published applications using a Swiftpoint GT mouse. You need to connect this mouse to your iOS device via Bluetooth and once you establish a connection, the mouse will connect automatically and you'll be able to start using it.
Use PC Keyboard. When you're working with published applications and a text field gets focus, a mobile keyboard pops up. By default, an iOS native keyboard is used.
If you experience any input problems (for example, the keyboard types wrong keys), try to switch to a PC keyboard. Enable Use PC Keyboard and choose the keyboard language you need from the PC Keyboard Layout list.
Note: If you have changed the keyboard language (for example, from English to German or French), you need to log off for the changes to take effect. Before you log off, save all your files in remote applications - unsaved data will be lost.
To log off, do the following:
On the list of published applications, tap the icon in the top right corner and choose Log Off.
