Virtual Desktop Templates

FlexNet Manager Suite 2019 R1 (On-Premises Edition)

The Discovery & Inventory > Virtual Desktop Templates page (in the Virtual Devices group) lists all the templates for which FlexNet Manager Suite has inventory details. A virtual desktop template is a catalog of software applications with user groups that are entitled to access those applications in a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) environment. A virtual desktop template is a method to track software access details in a VDI environment. FlexNet Manager Suite gets the software access details from the template and user details from the Active Directory to track the access of remote applications by the users, through the inventory devices. If FlexNet Manager Suite does not find an inventory device linked to a user, it creates a remote device. You can perform the following actions on this page:

View virtual desktop template properties: Click the Template name to view its properties. For more information about virtual desktop template properties, see Virtual Desktop Template Properties.
View user properties: Click the User name to view the properties of the user. For more information about user properties, see User Properties.
Create a management view: The Save view as feature of FlexNet Manager Suite enables you to create customized management views of a page by saving the applied user interface settings. For more information, see Creating Management Views.

The following virtual desktop template properties are available for display. Some of these properties are displayed by default whereas others are available through the Choose columns option:
