Client Settings
Each time the SGD Client starts it uses a profile. A profile is a group of configuration
settings that control the SGD Client. The settings in a profile define the following:
■ How the SGD Client connects to an SGD server. For example, the URL to connect
to and the proxy server to use.
■ The operating mode of the SGD Client. For example, whether to display a
webtop or whether the list of applications that you can run is displayed in the
desktop Start or Launch Menu, known as Integrated mode.
■ How the SGD Client behaves. For example, if it loses a connection to an SGD
server.
You have one profile for each SGD server you connect to.
The available client settings are described in Appendix C.
Editing Profiles
You can only edit profiles if your SGD Administrator has configured SGD to let you
do this.
You can only edit profiles from a webtop. On your webtop, click the Edit button in
the Applications area of the webtop, and then click the Client Settings tab.
You can only edit your own profiles, and you can only edit the profile for the SGD
server you are currently connected to.
When you first edit a profile, the settings are the ones that your SGD Administrator
has configured for you.
To restore a profile to the system default settings, click the Reset button.
Note – You must log out of SGD and log in again for changes to your profile to take
effect.
Application Groups
Only an SGD Administrator can add an application to, or remove an application
from, the list of applications that you can run. However, you can choose how and
when those applications display on your webtop. You do this by creating groups.
Groups are useful for grouping similar applications together or for hiding
applications you do not use very often. How you use groups is up to you.
