Citrix SecurSpaces™

Console overview

The Overview page is the first page displayed when you access the platform’s user interface. It contains the essential components to allow quick access to resources such as workspaces, apps, secure web apps and metrics.

The Overview Page is customizable. All components can be reordered according to your preferences.

Command Menu

The Command Menu is a keyboard-driven way to move around the console. It is in the header on every page, and opens with Ctrl+K, or Cmd+K on macOS. You can also select it.

Type into What do you want to do? to filter, or browse the three groups:

Group What it offers
Navigation Go to Organizations, Projects, or Project Settings
Profile Go to your profile
Workspaces Open one of your workspaces by name

Opening a workspace by name is the most useful of these, because it does not depend on finding the workspace in a list first.

The menu is hierarchical, and the keys are shown along the bottom: Enter selects, the arrow keys move, Backspace goes back up a level, and Esc closes it.

Note

This is not the same as the Command Palette inside a workspace IDE, which runs commands against the workspace itself. See Connect over SSH.

Citrix DaaS Resources

The project Overview page now includes a Citrix DaaS Resources section alongside the existing Workspaces and Workspace Apps sections. This section displays the Citrix virtual apps and desktops assigned to you in Citrix DaaS, giving you unified access to both Kubernetes-based Citrix SecurSpaces™ workspaces and Citrix-based resources from a single console.
