Running Sessions

Any app or workflow can generate a session as long as its YML file contains a sessions definition. Below is an example of a YML file with a sessions definition, with a session named desktop:

sessions:
desktop:

You can check for sessions in the app or workflow's Build tab. For more information, please see Building Sessions.

Running a Session

Start your workflow or app. A notification will appear, either with the message Executing workflow [name] or App [name] launched. You'll also be redirected to the Sessions page.

When your navigation bar is expanded, your number of running sessions will appear next to Sessions.

Click the session name to see view the exposed application.

Deleting a Session

On the Sessions page, click the delete icon.

A dialog box will appear with the message Are you sure you want to delete this session?

Click Delete.

A notification will appear with the message Session deleted.

Note

Please note that deleting a session does not cancel the app or workflow that created the session. You must cancel the workflow or app separately.

Sharing a Session

On the Sessions page, click the share icon.

On the next page, select the group(s) you want to share the snapshot with. You'll see the message Permission updated successfully.

About Sharing

Only share a session with groups you trust. Sharing is the same as allowing users in the group to run the app as you.
