Workplace for Windows and macOS is the starting point for using Workplace. From here, you can launch all of your apps right from the platform.
Launch a Local App
- Open Workplace for Windows or macOS and Sign in with valid credentials.
You may be required to verify the sign-in by completing the multi-factor authentication on your mobile device. - Click Apps in the left navigation panel.
- Select the app you wish to launch and click Launch.
NOTE: For LocalZone™ users, the app will open with a blue border and badge, indicating the app is running in LocalZone™.
Launch a Hybrid (Hosted) App
Your company might have a Balanced compliance policy, which means that if your device passes all required checks, you can work with local apps. If you fail any required checks, you will work in a Hybrid (hosted) environment.
- Open Workplace for Windows or macOS and Sign in with valid credentials.
You may be required to verify the sign-in by completing the multi-factor authentication on your mobile device. - Click Apps in the left navigation panel.
- Select the hybrid app you wish to launch and you will notice a gray cloud icon on the logo and a note stating that the app will launch in a hosted environment.
- Click Launch.
- You will see a progress bar as Citrix launches your hosted application. The first time you launch a hosted app it takes a minute, but if you keep at least one hosted app open while you’re working, any app you launch after that will open immediately.
The app will not include the LocalZone™ blue border and badge because your computer doesn't actually contain the work applications or data - Citrix opens a window or portal to manipulate those programs and files located in the cloud.
