StoreFront

Category Settings

Within Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops, you can assign each application to a category as described in the Applications article. Use the \ symbol to create a folder hierarchy of categories. Within StoreFront, you can configure how this folder hierarchy is displayed.

Note: This functionality requires CU2 or higher. In earlier versions, expanded view is always used.

Category view

In the expanded view, StoreFront displays a list of top level categories. When the user clicks a top level category, StoreFront displays all apps in all subcategories on one page.

For example, if you have a category Browser with subcategory Legacy then it shows all browsers including those under legacy on one page:

In the collapsed view, StoreFront initially displays a list of top level categories, and optionally all uncategorized apps. When the user clicks a category, StoreFront displays only the immediate contents (subcategories and apps) of the selected category. The user can click each subcategory to expand the contents.

Uncategorized apps

In the collapsed view, clear the Move uncategorized apps into an “Uncategorized” folder option to display all apps and desktops without categories on the initial view. This behavior is similar to earlier versions of StoreFront.
