Cloudpaging Player Basic Help

Applies to: Cloudpaging Player

Cloudpaging Player is a light-weight agent that enables on-demand application access and runs them at native speeds, without actually installing the application on your device.

This basic help covers the main Player user interface. For more detailed help, please see the Cloudpaging Player User Guide.

Cloudpaging Player Main Window

The Cloudpaging Player main window is divided into several functional sections:

• Menu bar – File, Application, and Help menus.
• Tool bar – Launch, Stop, Remove applications, and Help buttons.
• Application Pane – Lists applications added to the Cloudpaging Player.
• Information Pane – Provides additional information on the applications added to the Cloudpaging Player. Initially, the Information Pane is hidden by default. To display it, select Information Pane from the File menu or press CTRL + I on the keyboard.
• Status Bar – Provides information about Menu Bar and Tool bar buttons, submenus, and commands that appear when the mouse cursor hovers over these options. The Status Bar also provides Work Offline status information.

Menu Bar

The Menu Bar allows you to access Cloudpaging Player options and settings. It consists of three menus, each of which consists of various commands and sub-menus. Specific commands will be covered in topics below.

• File - Commands to control Cloudpaging Player.
• Application - Commands to control applications added to the Cloudpaging Player.
• Help - Commands to help topics and product information.

Tool bar

The Tool bar includes buttons used to control application paging: Launch, Stop, and Remove. In addition, Help provides information about how to use Cloudpaging Player. Once you have successfully launched an application, you will be able to launch it again later or perform other tasks described later in this guide.

• Launch - This command will run the application.
• Stop - This command will force the application to quit and can result in lost data. Always close applications first if possible.
• Remove - This command will remove the application from your machine and can only be  performed if the application is not running.

Application Pane

The Application Pane lists all applications that are available to use.

All applications that have been added to the Cloudpaging Player will be presented in the Application Pane. The pane is divided into two columns. The first column displays the application name and the second one displays the application status. The columns are sortable by clicking on the title. Applications may be launched by double-clicking the name of the application. The pane also supports content menus that can be accessed by right-clicking on either a specific application or within the empty area for actions that apply to all applications.

Application Status Column and Icons

Each application will have a state that is shown both in a column and represented by an icon for easy reference.

If an application is ready to launch, the application icon provided by the software vendor (or the generic icon shown below) is shown visible on the Application Pane and “Ready” appears in the Status column. 

Information Pane

The information pane provides details on how the application was provisioned to your machine.

• Provider Name - The name of your organization or service provider.
• Provider URL - The server from which the applications were provisioned.
• License Type - The license policy type refers to application usage configurations set by your administrator.
• Offline Remaining Time - This is the amount of time your application will continue to work without network access.
• Last Accessed - The last date and time the application was added or used.

The Information Pane is hidden by default. To display or hide this pane, select Information Pane from the File menu (or use the Ctrl + I keys on your keyboard).

Status Bar

The Status Bar provides information about Menu bar and Tool bar buttons, sub-menus, and commands when the mouse cursor hovers over these options. In addition, “Offline” appears on the right side of the Status Bar when Cloudpaging Player is set to Work Offline.
