Citrix StoreFront 3.x – Change the default view
I'm Oscar Mas and when we deployed a StoreFront 3.X, by default, when users access the system, the “Favorites”. This can confuse the end user, since it can't find your apps or desktop.
There are several ways to make the default view of their applications or desktop appear to the end user.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Before making any kind of change, It is highly advisable to make a backup copy of the files that we are going to modify.
Manual Gearbox,
This procedure is the most common, since we will simply edit the web.config file, which we will find in the location of our Store ( C:inetpubwwwrootCitrixStore ) and from there we'll change the defaultView variable, by one of the following values:
- Auto: It will show us the favorites view
- Desktops: It will show us the view of our desktop
- Apps: It will show us the view of our applications
The following example shows what the configuration file would look like, in case we want to show by default the published applications of our Citrix system, either XenDesktop or XenApp.
GUI Switching,
Citrix offers us a friendlier tool, which we can download without logging in to our Citrix portal: http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX138991
Once downloaded, We will run the program and tell you the location of our web.config file, which is located in: C:inetpubwwwrootCitrixStore
Once the file is uploaded, we will go to the "User Interface" tab and from there, We'll select the default view that we want our end users to see. Don't forget to hit "Save", otherwise the changes we have made will not be applied.
I hope it helps you.
