Path in the GPO console
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Citrix Components\Citrix Workspace\Self Service Description
This policy helps integrate locally installed Windows operating system apps with Citrix Workspace app. When you set this policy to Not Configured, Citrix Workspace app is not integrated with the locally installed apps. When you set this policy to Enabled, Citrix Workspace app integrates with the apps that are locally installed only when Enable local app discovery option is also enabled. When you set this policy to Disabled, Citrix Workspace app is not integrated with the apps that are locally installed. The whitelist field lets you add the location of the apps that your administrator would like to pin to the Workspace app. For example: [ { "arguments": "www.citrix.com", "name" : "Company Pages - Citrix Home", "path" : "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Internet Explorer\\iexplore.exe" }, { "arguments": "www.microsoft.com", "name" : "Company Pages - Microsoft Home", "path" : "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Internet Explorer\\iexplore.exe" }, { "arguments": "", "name" : "Company Office - Word", "path" : "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Office\\root\\Office16\\winword.exe" }, { "arguments": "", "name" : "Company Office - Excel", "path" : "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Office\\root\\Office16\\excel.exe" }, { "arguments": "", "name" : "Company Office - PowerPoint", "path" : "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Office\\root\\Office16\\POWERPNT.exe" } ]
