Quick Launch

You can configure commonly used applications, scripts and web sites, which a user can choose to launch directly from Open Mobile. Quick Launch items can include local applications or scripts, or web site URL. (A web site URL will load in the default Web browser.)

  • Quick Launch items for a profile are configured in the Open Mobile Portal.
  • In addition, a profile can enable individual users the ability to configure their own Quick Launch items in Open Mobile.
  • Environmental variables are not supported in the local application path, but are supported in the arguments to the path.

Quick Launch items are displayed in the Quick Launch Toolbar. They are also shown at the top of the right-click System Tray menu. To launch an item, select it from the menu.

One useful URL to use for Quick Launch is the iPass Hotspot Finder, http://hotspot-finder.ipass.com/, to enable your users to quickly and easily locate Wi-Fi hotspots.

Quick Launch items can be configured with these options:

Option If Configured…
Internet Connection Required Open Mobile will initiate an Internet connection prior to launching the item (if one is not already established).
VPN Connection Required Open Mobile will initiate an Internet connection prior to launching the item (if one is not already established), and then launch the integrated VPN (if one has been integrated with Open Mobile.)

For more information on configuring Quick Launch in a profile, see Quick Launch.
