Citrix Cloudpaged Delivery Method

Overview

There are many different ways in which an application can be delivered to an end user and which one you choose to use could depend on a number of factors such as the type of device they are using, who owns the device or where they are physically located, as a few examples. The Citrix Cloudpaged delivery method is available to Windows devices and triggers the locally installed Citrix Workspace app to initiate the delivery of a Cloudpaged app into the terminal server environment and then present it to the user.

Before you start

Cloudpaging Delivery Method must be configured before creating a Citrix Cloudpaged delivery method and the Citrix environment must be configured for Cloudpaging.

All delivery methods share some basic, common settings that you will need to understand before continuing. Make sure you have read the Common Delivery Method Settings article before continuing.

Once you understand the common settings and how they work, navigate to the application to be configured:

  1. Log into AppsAnywhere as an admin user

  2. Click on Return to Admin to access the AppsAnywhere admin portal

  3. On the navigation menu at the top of the page, go to Applications > Manage Applications

  4. Click Edit next to the required application

Creating the delivery method

Adding a new delivery method:

  5. The form for adding a new Citrix native delivery method will then load up on the right-hand side

  6. Complete the required details (described below)

  7. Set the Operating System Compatibilities and the Restrictions for the delivery method

  8. Click Save
