How to configure a scheduled disconnection task - WUYING Terminal

Policies are used to manage desktop clients and cloud computers. These policies can be set by administrators or customized by end users.

Important

This topic uses the macOS client V7.13 and the Enterprise Edition as an example. If your experience differs from the description in this topic, you may be using a different client or an outdated version. Upgrade to the latest version.

Administrator-set policies

Administrator-set policies can be configured only by an Enterprise Edition administrator in the console. End users cannot modify these policies on the client. These policies include WUYING Terminal access policies and cloud computer floating bar management policies.

WUYING Terminal access policies

This policy defines the types of WUYING Terminals that your end user account can use to log on.

Configuration path for Enterprise Edition administrators

Log on to the EDS Enterprise console.
In the left-side navigation pane, choose Operation & Maintenance > Policies.
In the upper-left corner of the top navigation bar, select a region.
On the Policies page, find the policy that is associated with the cloud computer and click Modify Policy in the Actions column.
Note
If the cloud computer is associated with the system-all-enabled-policy system policy, the policy cannot be modified. The administrator must create a custom policy in the WUYING Workspace console for enterprises and then attach the custom policy to the cloud computer. For more information, see Create a custom policy and Change the associated policy.
In the navigation pane on the left of the Modify Policy page, click Cloud Computer Floating Ball Management. In the Desktop Client area, you can then enable or disable features.

Cloud computer floating bar management policies

This policy defines whether to display specific features on the menu panel of the cloud computer's floating bar. The features whose visibility can be controlled by policies include the following:

The following features on the primary menu panel of the floating bar (1-6):
The following features on the file transfer panel:

Configuration path for Enterprise Edition administrators

Log on to the EDS Enterprise console.
In the left-side navigation pane, choose Operation & Maintenance > Policies.
In the upper-left corner of the top navigation bar, select a region.
On the Policies page, find the policy that is associated with the WUYING Workspace. In the Actions column, click Modify Policy.
Note
If the WUYING Workspace is associated with the system policy system-all-enabled-policy, you must create a custom policy in the WUYING Workspace console for Enterprise Edition and attach it to the workspace. This is because system policies cannot be modified. For more information, see Create a custom policy and Change the associated policy.
On the Modify Policy page, click WUYING Workspace Floating Ball Management in the navigation pane on the left. In the Desktop Client section, turn the features on or off.

Custom policies

End users can modify custom policies under specific conditions. Currently, the only customizable policy is the scheduled disconnection policy.

By default, a cloud computer remains in the Running state after it is disconnected. For pay-as-you-go cloud computers, this can waste resources. You can set a scheduled disconnection policy to automatically shut down or put the cloud computer into hibernation after it has been disconnected for a specified period. This helps avoid resource waste.

Prerequisites

You are logged on to the Windows client or macOS client (V6.2 or later).
The administrator has enabled the Scheduled Disconnection Task in the scheduled task that is associated with the cloud computer and set the Task Effective Rule to Effective Based On Client-side User Configuration.
Configuration path for Enterprise Edition administrators
1. Log on to the EDS Enterprise console.
2. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Operation & Maintenance > Scheduled Tasks.
3. On the Scheduled Tasks page, find the scheduled task that is associated with the cloud computer and click Modify in the Actions column.
  Note
  If the cloud computer is not associated with any scheduled tasks, the administrator must create a scheduled task in the WUYING Workspace console for enterprises and then associate the task with the cloud computer. For more information, see Configure a scheduled task.
4. At the bottom of the Edit Scheduled Task page, turn on the Scheduled Disconnection Task switch and set the Task Effective Rule to Effective Based On Client-side User Configuration.

Procedure

On the cloud computer card, click Manage, and then click Policies.
In the Scheduled Disconnection Policy section, turn on the Scheduled Shutdown/hibernation Upon Disconnection switch. Select a disconnection duration and choose Shutdown or Hibernate as the action.
Warning
Shutting down the cloud computer may stop running processes and cause the loss of unsaved files and data. If you receive a shutdown prompt, save any unsaved data files on the cloud computer as soon as possible.
Note
If the settings on this panel are read-only and cannot be modified, this may be because the cloud computer is not associated with a scheduled policy. This can also occur if the task effective rule in the associated scheduled policy is set to Effective Based On Console Administrator Configuration.

Policy modification effective rules

If you change the policy settings, the timer based on the previous settings is reset.
If the current cloud computer is assigned to multiple users, all users can configure the scheduled disconnection policy. However, only the last saved settings take effect.
If another user changes a policy that you configured, you will receive a notification. You can view the notification by clicking the icon in the upper-right corner of the desktop client.
