How to access an App or Virtual Desktop in Apporto

Apporto

Using an App or Desktop

After logging in to Apporto, you will see the App Store. This is where you can access all of the desktops and apps available to you. It is your virtual computer lab. From there, you can launch the relevant desktop or app and begin working with the available software (e.g. Excel, Word, Photoshop, SolidWorks, etc.). The available software will depend on what your administrator has configured.

To launch an App or Desktop:

Using your preferred web browser (Google Chrome is recommended), navigate to .
Sign in using your ��ϲ�Ԥ�� ID and password.
Locate the desired app or desktop.
Click Launch.

The selected app or desktop will open in a new browser tab.

Please Note:

When you first login to Apporto, it may take up to 30 seconds to launch an app. This is because your profile is being created. After this, applications will launch much faster, typically between 7-15 seconds.

Use Multiple Monitors

Click the Multi Monitor icon to open a second browser tab. Drag the tab to another monitor and resize as needed. The desktop view will span both tabs/monitors. Then, you can drag applications to either monitor. You may use up to three monitors.

By default the Apporto cloud desktop will match the scale of your local device. If you want desktop images and text to appear larger, you may increase the scale up to 250%. Increasing the scale may reduce system responsiveness though, since more data is transferred from the cloud to your browser.

By default the Apporto desktop displays at a high resolution for optimal image quality. The resolution is dynamically adjusted when you change your browser size (for example by toggling to full screen mode).

If you have a poor network connection, you may opt for a fixed, lower resolution (1024 x 768). This option will ensure a faster system responsiveness, since less data is transferred from the cloud to your browser.

Please Note:

Multi Monitor mode does not work when Low resolution is selected.

If your device supports video compression, Apporto will automatically enable it. You may disable this feature if desired though.

Enabling the microphone

microphone icon (in your browser and device settings) enables you to use voice features in the Apporto desktop like making calls via Messenger.

Enabling the clipboard

clipboard icon (in your browser settings) enables you to copy and paste text and images to and from your local device to the Apporto cloud desktop.
