StoreFront

User experience

Users can view the stores either in a web browser or Citrix Workspace app. See User access.

StoreFront provides the following user experiences:

Modern user experience

The modern user experience is consistent with Citrix Workspace. It incorporates Activity Manager for managing your sessions and improved searching. Prior to CU2, the modern experience is available as a preview and not recommended for use in production environments.

The modern experience has the following limitations:

  • It is not possible to create embedded URL shortcuts that lead you directly to your app or desktop.
  • The Workspace Control feature that lets end users connect back to their sessions from a remote device is not available.
  • Users cannot change their password.
  • Deep customizations using JavaScript and css with the StoreFront Client UI Customization API.

Classic user experience

This is the default user experience consistent with previous versions of StoreFront. It includes features such as Workspace control and website shortcuts. You can customize the user interface using JavaScript and CSS.

Citrix Gateway cVPN

If users access StoreFront through a Citrix Gateway configured for clientless VPN (CVPN) then it provides its own user interface instead of displaying the interface from StoreFront. In this case some UI configuration settings within StoreFront do not apply.
