## Site Defaults (Publishing) The Default Settings dialog allows you to view and modify Site default settings for publishing. Published applications, desktops, or documents can inherit the following groups of settings from Site defaults: Shortcuts Licensing Display To open the Default Settings dialog, select a published resource, then select the Shortcuts, Licensing, or Display tab and click the Site Defaults link in the upper right. The dialog consists of the same Shortcuts, Licensing, and Display tabs that you can see in the RAS Console when you configure a published resource. When the Inherit default settings option is selected in a tab in the main published resource view, the corresponding settings are inherited from Site defaults. Note that each tab is inherited by a published resource separately. For example, if the Inherit default settings option is selected on the Shortcuts tab, but cleared on the Licensing tab, only the Shortcuts settings are inherited, while Licensing uses custom settings. Each tab is described in detail below. Shortcuts In this tab specify whether and how the published resource shortcuts should be created on the user's computer. The following options are available: Create shortcut on Desktop. If selected, a shortcut will be created on the user's desktop. Create shortcut in Start folder. If selected, a shortcut will be added to the Start folder. You can specify the target subfolder name and path in the field provided. The default (and only) %Groups% variable will add additional subfolders as they appear on the host server where the published resource is hosted. For example, if the resource is located in "Myapps > Games" on the host server, the same folder structure will be added to the path. Note that you cannot use any custom variables. Create shortcut in Auto Start folder. If selected, the published resource will start automatically on computer startup. Licensing The Licensing tab contains the following options: Disable session sharing. If selected, the published resource will be isolated to one session. This means that if the same resource is launched twice, the two instances of it will run in two isolated sessions. Allow users to start only one instance of the application. If this option is enabled, a user can only launch a single instance of the published resource. Concurrent Licenses. Use this option to specify the maximum number of concurrent instances the published resource can run. For example, if the license of the application allows you to only run 10 instances of the application, set the Concurrent licenses option to 10, so once this limit is reached, other users cannot initiate other instances. If limit is exceeded. Specifies which action should Parallels RAS take in case any of the licensing limits configured above are exceeded. Display The Display tab contains the following options: Wait until all RAS Universal Printers are redirected before showing the application. Enable this option to wait for printers to be redirected before the application is loaded. You can also specify the maximum wait time (in seconds) for the Universal Printers to be redirected. Please note that redirecting a printer may take some time. To avoid confusion, a progress bar is shown to the user while the printers are being redirected. Color Depth, Resolution, Width, Height. These options specify the desired display settings for the application. Start the application as maximized when using mobile clients. This option applies only to Parallels Client running on mobile devices. When the option is selected, the application will start on a mobile device in the maximized state. This gives users the best experience while working with a remote application. This option gives the RAS administrator an easy way to always maximize an application without taking any additional steps. Note that you can replicate the Site settings described above to other sites in your Parallels RAS Farm. To do so, select the Replicate settings option in a desired tab. All settings contained in the tab will be replicated.
