Group Settings

To simplify management, devices can be organized into Device Sets. This grouping helps in:

Identifying devices according to the device sets.
Keeping common settings for the group of devices.
Applying settings to only a group of devices.

Device set can be managed from Devices > Device Set and it consists of the following:

Administrators can configure Device Set settings by modifying an existing Device Set (Update Device Set dialog) or by adding a new Device Set (Add Device Set dialog).

Device Set Configurations Settings

The following settings can be configured on the Configurations screen of the Device Set dialog:

Name: Logical name for the device set.
Description: Description of the device set.
Volume: Default value Inherit.
USB Redirection Driver: Default Value Inherit.
Default Language: Default Native and can be configured to have specific configurations.
Connection Profiles: Default Value Inherit from default settings, but a device set can be applied with a specific connection profile as well.

Login Settings can be configured from the Add/ Update Device Set dialog to enable/disable automatic login on devices.

Devices in the Device Set, as well as those inheriting from it, will be rebooted to apply the configured Auto Login settings.

UI Controls

The UI Controls screen in the Add/ Update Device Set dialog enables the administrator to customize the device login screen by showing/hiding/password-protecting the UI controls.

Devices in the Device Set, as well as those inheriting from it, will take new configuration on the next heartbeat.

Desktop Mode & Protocol

Device Set settings determine the Desktop Mode for devices in this group.

By default, groups inherit the desktop mode settings from Default settings, but the administrator can alter the configurations as per the group requirements.

Devices belonging to a group and inheriting Desktop mode settings will be rebooted to take effect of new Desktop Mode configurations.

Devices inheriting Upgrade Settings from Device Set settings will be affected. The following configurations are possible for Upgrade Settings in Add/ Update Device Set dialog:

Inherit (Default Selected): Inheriting the upgrade settings from default settings which means Default Settings will determine the effecting upgrade settings.
Enable: Upgrade will be enabled for all devices belonging to this device set.
Disable: Upgrade will be disabled for all devices belonging to this group.

Power Saving Mode

If the administrator requires configuring power saving mode for a specific set of devices, the objective can be achieved from the Device Set settings > Power Saving Mode screen.

The administrator has the following options:

Inherit the settings from Default Settings: Use the Power Saving Mode settings as configured in Default Settings
Set Manually
- Enable and Configure the Turn-Off time out in Minutes
- Disable: Devices will not get turned off

Updating the Power Saving Mode configurations in Device Set settings will affect the following devices:

Devices going to be inserted into the group.
Devices that are currently a member of this group and inheriting the Power Saving Mode settings from Device Set settings.

Windows Client devices will not be affected by the Power Saving Mode settings.

Advanced Settings

Advanced Settings screen consists of Remote Session settings for the devices. By default, device sets inherit the Default settings however administrator can always alter these configurations as per the device set's requirements.

The details of configurations are given in the Default Settings section.

The Device screen in the Add/ Update Device Set dialog provides the following options to the administrator:

Add: To add Devices to the device set.
Remove: Remove already added devices.

Custom Links

Some organizations have web applications that must be available to end-users all the time even when they are not able to access assigned desktops or applications. Such URLs can also be managed from Devices page and published on HyWorks Clients.

On clicking on these URLs, HyWorks Client launches the default browser of the system and opens the published URL.
