Trigger Virtual Apps and Desktops events, SaaS events, and verifying event transmission

This section describes the procedures to trigger Apps and Desktops events, SaaS events, and verify that Citrix Analytics for Security is actively receiving these user events.


Prerequisites

  • If you are using on-premises Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops, then onboard your on-premises sites to Citrix Analytics, and enable data processing from the site card. If you are using Citrix DaaS (formerly Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops service), then enable data processing directly from the site card. For more information, see Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops and Citrix DaaS data source
    .

  • Use the correct versions of Citrix Workspace app or Citrix Receiver in the users’ endpoint devices so that the events are accurately sent to Citrix Analytics. For more information, see Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops and Citrix DaaS data source
    .

  • Before triggering the printing event from your virtual desktop, ensure that a printer is configured and provisioned in your Apps and Desktops environment. For more information on managing a printer, see Print
    .

  • For triggering the SaaS events such as SaaS App Launch, SaaS App URL Navigation, SaaS App File Download, you must use a configured SaaS app from Workspace. Commonly used SaaS apps include Salesforce, Workday, Concur, GoTo Meeting.

    • If there are no configured SaaS apps, you must configure and publish a SaaS app. For more information, see Support for Software as a Service apps
      . When configuring a SaaS app, ensure that the following security options are disabled:

      • Restrict clipboard access

      • Restrict printing

      • Restrict navigation

      • Restrict download

    • If you want to use an already configured SaaS app from your Workspace to trigger the events, ensure that the specified enhanced security options are disabled for the SaaS app:

      1. Go to your Citrix Cloud account and select Library.

        Citrix Cloud library

      2. On the Library page, identify the SaaS app that you want to use for verifying the events. For example, Workday.

      3. Click the ellipses, and select Edit.

        Edit Workday

      4. On the Edit App page, click the down arrow for Enhanced security.
