Published Application through VDI Desktop
Application delivery is easily streamed using 3 methods. This will entitle Jim to view the X-Rays not just from the static workstation in the Radiology department but also from his laptop and any other authorized device permitted by HOL Healthcare.
- Publish the application through VDI Desktop
- Publish the application through RDSH
- Publish Application through Workspace One
This module assumes the user has knowledge of Horizon RDSH, Instant Clones, Horizon Console, User Environment Manager, and vSphere, if not take a look at HOL-2051-01 Getting Started with App and Desktop Virtualization to get more familiar.
We will walk through the steps to Explain an Application Pool and some steps involved in publishing.
Personalize the Application
Let's login to the UEM Management Console and look at personalizing the X-Ray Viewer. If the X-Ray viewer application is found on a desktop then the UEM agent will apply custom settings as pre-defined by the admin. This can include small changes like a shortcut all the way to pre-defined application settings, mapped drives and triggered conditions to name but a few.
Personalization
If you have internet connectivity you can Click on the Download Config Template and reach out to the market place in order to import pre-configured application Personalization templates. This lab connectivity to the market place may or may not work. Feel free to explore this feature. Once finished, complete the next step to import a local configuration file for the X-Ray Viewer.

View X-Ray
You successful opened the X-Ray from the local mapped drive. This drive could be anywhere on the network. We tried to show that you can import from one drive and make another drive your personal drive without having to configure this, instead have UEM pre-configure this for the user per application.

Export to DICOM
The default Destination will be prepopulated with the network drive for all the HOL Healthcare Staff to store X-Rays centrally.
- Click Export
Converted onto Central A&E Drive
The Xray is now stored on the central server. Jim managed to use the viewer software from a different location and in the process uploaded the image back to the HOL Healthcare A&E department within the same desktop. This is only an example of a Desktop Published application.
