Launching Remote Applications and Desktops

To launch remote applications and desktop in Parallels HTML5 Client:

  • Double-click an application or a desktop. The resource will open inside a browser or in Parallels Client depending on the server-side configuration.
  • Right-click an application or a desktop to display a context menu. Depending on the server-side configuration, the menu will have an option to open the resource in Parallels Client and/or Parallels HTML5 Client (if both methods are allowed, there will be two corresponding menu options).
  • If a resource cannot be opened in Parallels Client due to an error, a message will be displayed with an option to open it in the web browser instead.

Other useful functionality includes the following:

  • You can add a remote application or a desktop to the Favorites list, so you can easily find them. To do so, point to an application or a desktop and click the star icon. To view the list, click the star icon on the toolbar in the upper-right (next to the Search box). To remove a resource from the list, point to it in the list and click the "X" icon.
  • To search for a resource, begin typing its name in the Search box on the toolbar. The list will be filtered as you type to contain only the resources with matching names.
  • To view a resource description, position the mouse pointer over it. The description will appear as a tooltip. This could be helpful if one or more resources are published using the same name. By reading the description, you can distinguish between them.
  • When you launch a remote application or a desktop, it's icon is added to the taskbar at the bottom of the screen. When the taskbar is full, items of the same type are grouped to save space. You can click on a group to see the list of all running instances and to switch to or close a particular instance.
