Dragging Shortcuts and URIs

You can drag server, remote desktop, and published application shortcuts and Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs).

You can drag a server shortcut from the Omnissa Horizon Client Home window into another app, such as Notes. The server shortcut appears as a URI in the other app, for example, omnissa-view://server-address. You can also drag a server address or URI from another app into the Home window.

After you connect to a server, you can drag a remote desktop or published application shortcut from the Horizon Client desktop and application selection window into another app, such as Notes. The shortcut appears as a URI in the other app, for example, omnissa-view://server-name/item-name.

If you drag a server, remote desktop, or published application shortcut from Horizon Client into a folder on the Mac, Horizon Client creates a shortcut file in the folder. You can double-click this shortcut file to start Horizon Client and connect to the server, remote desktop, or published application.

For information about URI syntax, see Using URIs to Configure Horizon Client.
