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.

Status Indicators

Taskbar 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:
