Using the Citrix Receiver App

Find it:

You can find the Receiver app in 1 of 2 ways

  1. Double-click the tray icon:
  2. Locate the application in the Start Menu and single-click:
  3. If you don't find it anywhere, it may not be installed. Return to the Installation Instructions page.

First use - set server address:

  1. The very first time you use the Receiver App you'll have to input the server name. The GSE, LLC server is https://cloudapps.yukonac.com, insert that in the field and click Next:
  2. It may take a moment to connect, when it has connected successfully you'll see the following screen, click Finish:
  3. If the Receiver App disappears, you can find it again by performing the steps in the Find it section again so you can proceed to login.

Login:

  1. After double clicking the Receiver app icon you should see the login screen (unless you're already logged in):
  2. In the Domain\User field type “gsellc\” followed by your username
  3. Type your password in the password field
  4. Click the LogOn button

Add Apps:

  1. If this is your first time logging in you won't have any apps in your favorite apps list, to add apps click the (+) button as indicated:
  2. Click All Applications at the top:
  3. Click on all the applications you use routinely, green check symbols should appear next to them as you click them:
  4. Once you've selected all the apps you use routinely you can click anywhere outside of the app list to return to your favorite apps list and start working:
  5. If at any time you wish to add more apps just return to step one of the Add Apps section.

Final Notes:

  • Now that you've logged in using the receiver you will have much more convenient access to your applications than you would have going through the cloudapps web interface.
  • If configured properly you will end up with Citrix hosted applications on your desktop and in your start menu as shown:

    These icons can be used to launch the cloud-based applications conveniently.
  • Cloud based applications should end in “- GSE LLC” to make it easy to discern cloud based applications from locally installed applications, it is important to make this distinction:
  • If at any point you cannot find the receiver app and cannot find the application you wish to launch - you can access the receiver app again using the steps outlined in the Find it section.
