The virtual desktop opens:

• Click the 'Start Virtual Desktop Session' button

• Click ‘Accept’ at the disclaimer screen to open the virtual desktop.

 

Note: This screen is only relevant for customers who white-label the interface. It can be safely ignored by most customers and end-users. If you do want to white-label the interface, you can configure the disclaimer message at 'Settings' > 'Containment' > 'Virtual Desktop'. You can also disable the disclaimer entirely from there. See 'Show disclaimer upon Virtual Desktop startup' to view help with this.

• You will see a four digit access code If session protection is enabled:

• This feature lets you suspend a virtual desktop session and resume it later without losing any data. The PIN is required to unlock the suspended session.

• Please make a note of the PIN number. See Pause and Resume the Virtual Desktop for more details

• Tip: You can view the PIN at any time by clicking the 'Show PIN' icon  in the virtual desktop start menu.
