StoreFront

Configure and manage stores

In Citrix StoreFront, you can create and manage stores that aggregate applications and desktops from Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops giving users on-demand, self-service access to resources. You can create multiple stores, each with their own set of configuration and one or more webistes. End users can open these stores through a web browser or by adding them to their locally installed Citrix Workspace app.

View Stores

  1. From the management console, select the Stores node in the left pane.
  2. Select the store you wish to view.
