WorkDesk Features
Overview
The WorkDesk screen is divided into two main areas. The desktop takes up most of the screen and contains background wallpaper and optional shortcuts. The bottom of the screen contains a taskbar, which lets you launch apps and provides general device status. The features of each area are described in the following sections.
Desktop Shortcuts
To launch an app from a desktop shortcut, left click on its icon. In addition to launching apps, shortcuts can also reference a web page. When a shortcut of this type is launched, it will load the web page using the default browser. Information on configuring shortcuts can be found in Shortcut Settings.
Apps Button
The Apps button (
) is located at the lower left of the taskbar and is used to launch apps. When clicked, it displays the App menu, which lists shortcuts and apps which you can launch. Scroll the list to locate the app/shortcut you wish to launch, then click its icon to launch it. At the bottom of the menu is a button labeled WorkDesk Settings which will take you to the configuration window.
If the device is running in Kiosk (Lock Task) Mode, such as when running Datalogic Launcher, the apps displayed will be filtered to show only those apps which are allowed to be launched.
App Tray
The App Tray takes up the center area of the taskbar. It displays icons for all applications running on either display. It is split into two parts, identified by an icon as follows:
| Indicator | Description |
|---|---|
 | Lists apps running on the external display |
 | Lists apps running on the device display |
Apps can be moved between the external and device displays by performing a long press (press and hold) with the left mouse button on the app's icon, then dragging it to the opposite half of the app tray and releasing mouse button. Applications which are running on the external display when the device is removed from the dock will be restored to the external display automatically when the device is reinserted in the dock.
The display and behavior of the App Tray are configurable. See App Tray in Taskbar Settings for more details.
Screen Capture
The entire contents of the screen may be captured and saved to an image file in one of two methods:
| Method | Procedure |
|---|---|
Taskbar button ( ) | Click on the screenshot button just left of the status indicators. Note: This button may be configured to be hidden. |
| Keyboard action | Press the Print Scrn (Print Screen) key on a physical keyboard. |
If one of the above actions are taken, the current contents of the external screen will be saved to a file on the device. The external display will also briefly show a dialog which reads "Screenshot saved". The screenshot is stored in a file located in the folder /sdcard/Pictures/Screenshots with a unique name that includes the date and time of the picture.
Status Indicators
The right side of the taskbar contains indicators which reflect the current status of various device features. The indicators with a description of each are listed here:
| Indicator | Description |
|---|---|
 | Audio status |
 | Bluetooth connection status |
 | Ethernet connection status |
 | Cellular connection status and signal strength |
 | Wi-Fi connection status and signal strength |
 | Battery charge level |
| Time/Date | Current time and date |
Clicking on any indicator displays a corresponding settings window. Each indicator can be individually configured and/or hidden. Details on configuring the status indicators can be found in Taskbar Settings
